They are all centralized exchanges, they can ask for KYC at anytime.

I use Huobi global and OKX among all.

I was unable to access Huobi global derivative trading until I did KYC. Maybe this has changed

On OKX, I was able to use derivative trading, and able to withdraw to certain amount. I left the exchange for like a month or two. When I went back to the exchange, I deposited some amount of bitcoin. I converted it to USDT. A time came when I wanted to move the USDT to another address, i was asked to verify my mobile number. I was unable to withdraw until I verified my mobile number. I wanted to create a thread about this some months ago when it happened, but I just thought it is not necessary because it is still a centralized exchange.

People should know that using centralized exchanges can come with some inconveniences too like freezing of your coins and blocking of your account. But even if this is not the main discussion of today, there is still the fact that they can freeze your account and demand for KYC compulsorily.

Poloniex has been bought by Circle in 2018, and then by Tron, dumping everyone from the former company and actually trying to play nice with the SEC. It's not that great of an exchange and still does some shady stuff but it's nothing like it was before during the "hack".

It might be interesting also to add the counties which are blocked from trading on these exchanges as most of them are not allowing US citizens to do so.



 

Probably what that happened. I deposit on the exchange frequently and of low amount like $40. Probably what that caused it. Many people will prefer to do it the way I did it too and a means it is very possible many people on OKX are doing KYC compulsorily.

I like OKX though, the exchange has high liquidity. But about the KYC, I will not advice anyone to believe on those centralized exchanges like I said before, your coins are with them, they can make it impossible for withdrawal until you provide KYC.

I remembered when Binance made KYC mandatory, I asked people on this forum if OKX is good. I joined OKX, thinking KYC would not be requested for, but I was forced to do KYC. That is the point.

That is US, they prefer to just trade on exchanges where only US customers are present, except those p2p exchanges. About including the countries where the exchanges are not allowed, the list can be very long and I do not think it is necessary for the OP to do that because it is not what we are talking about.

Yes you can.
You can't do anything on their US version website, but .com version still works fine, except for futures options that can't be used.
They are counting this as Level 1 verification and you can withdraw 2000 USD per day, even if you didn't pass any real verification.
For Level 1 you can't use fiat deposits and withdrawals, but I think it's the same for all other exchanges.
Each time you log in there would be asked a question to add phone number, but you don't have to do it.

I never heard of such thing that you need $10k to open account, and it's simply not true.
Sure they can ask for KYC anytime, but that is not the point.
Bitfinex = Tether = USDT

There is Bitcoin, monero and it works.
Please don't tell me that crap like MEXC or Ascendex you listed are ''good'' exchanges.  
This is not the topic with review about exchanges, just about ones that don't have mandatory kyc.
I don't recommend any exchanges I listed before, except Bisq and I clearly said that.

Hold up. I think you missed the "available benefits for successful verification".


Looks like a soft kyc/verification to me, perhaps an honorable mention would be a better fit for ftx.com?

Good work but you have missed Cointigers which also give you opportunity to deposit and withdraw without any kyc. USDT fee is 0.5$ minimum for Sol network and minimum trade is 10$
Xt exchange also gives you this opportunity without kyc but minimum withdraw is 55$ for Usdt but still other options available like Dash

@Ratimov
I'm not sure if the three interrupted lines for AscendEX means it's a complicated situation or not, but I just created a test account and the minimum withdrawal limit seems to be a whopping 0.01BTC ^[screenshot]!

For OKX, you can also withdraw using the lightning network. The minimum amount you can withdraw is 0.000001 BTC (100 satoshis) and the fee is 10 satoshis.

Thanks for the list.

For someone not interested in trading but rather in exchanging FIAT - BTC - FIAT
there are a few options which could be beneficial like CoinEx with the cheapest transaction
fees and Huobi.

With the exception of Bitfinex and Poloniex there are others which are not that well known.

This article > https://medium.com/coinmonks/no-kyc-crypto-exchanges-buy-crypto-without-kyc-3b2eda2b5397
lists a few more, does anyone have any experience with:

Bityard
Bingx
Changenow
Waves.Exchange

As regards Changelly, I have heard of them before, how reputable are they?
