Not surprised. If you have a good legitimate service then you advertise a certain way. If you don't, then you just put it out there as much as you can.
There are so many people that just see something and click on it and never do any research.

And then we all start commenting on the posts with didn't you look (1xbit comes to mind)

But, with a semi - legit place it does become a bit more difficult to figure out.
Bitget at a quick look seems a bit 'off' so caution is advised. AS WITH ANY CEX. Not your keys, not your coins.

-Dave

I noticed there is a tendancy on bitcointalk recently to promote Bitget with bogus accounts.
The post above is the second one I come across today, and some accounts have sentences that seem to be written with AI tool

After looking on a search engine about this CEX, (since I didn't know about it...)

Bitget "Exposed" as "Chinese Scammers", Starts $100M Asia Web3 Fund

I noticed my unverified mexc account is at 30BTC per 24h, could you check if your account/s are the same?



It's no big deal since 30BTC is still more than enough however it's gotta be worth keeping an eye on as history says the more an exchange decrease their withdrawal limit, the more they're closer to mandatory KYC.

If Bitget allows up to $50k daily without KYC then this makes them a viable choice I guess. I just checked and they've got other really cool earning products. I also found out that they're the biggest in terms of copytrading. I tried this feature without KYC and it worked.  I find it quite impressive.

I had a similar experience with CoinEx. The issue arose because I was under 18, and I didn't have the required identification at that time. Resetting my password was quite a hassle. Eventually, they requested me to complete KYC using a family member's ID, and then I could transfer my funds. However, since then, I've been using Bitget for the past 3 years. I don't think they'll enforce mandatory KYC anytime soon

Bitget allows daily withdrawals of up to $50,000 without KYC. I recently withdrew $50,000 worth of assets without completing KYC, so I can confirm this. You may want to update your list accordingly

All CEX platforms announce well in advance before implementing mandatory KYC. They give a specific date when the KYC process will start and low long before you can't use the exchange without KYC. Before that date, users have the option to withdraw their funds if they choose to. Maybe you missed that announcement. It's always advisable to adhere to the rules of caution for wherever you have funds.

I have actually explored 3-4 out this list of non KYCed exchange but I think we need to look beyond withdrawal and deposit privileges of these exchange. liquidity and safety of ones assets should be our priority and that's was why I wasn't surprised seeing OKX and Bitget after Houbi on your list. OKX and Bitget are among the few top 10 exchanges to have prioritize user safety of users assets and launched customer protection fund and yeah, Huobi insurance fund collaterized in BTC is also worth commending.

Despite the fact that I don't stick to one exchange when it comes to trading I think Bitget non KYC policy is cool considering their rich security history and usually i’m not comfortable with exchanges with bogus non KYC benefits while they have records of security exploitation.

I didn't know Huobi had this option, but if that is the case than they are one of the best non-kyc cex options, and they have nice 5 BTC withdrawal limit.
Last time I checked CoinEX canceled this option for Bitcoin for multiple deposit addresses, but it was still available for other altcoins.
This was long time ago and I can't verify what changed in last few years, but support didn't give me any valid reason why they made this change.

Is Huobi exchange still using old Legacy address format (starting with 1) as standard, or they have other formats like Segwit?
Another thing I always missed in centralized exchanges is ability to generate multiple deposit addresses, that is especially important for no-kyc exchanges.

@Ratimov I think you should review about Huobi Global in the list because user claims that he can't able to get the deposit address until they complete KYC.

Does this mean that it is possible to create a one-time account, without KYC of course, make a deposit/withdraw up to $1000, then open a new account and so on?


Sometimes the internet provider changes the user's IP address, at least for those with dynamic addressing. These are completely normal things, nothing like that should set off a KYC alarm. When this happens to me, I usually have additional account verification through an email address or SMS/2FA confirmation.

Unfortunately, they did. It's not 1000 lifetime limit, but almost since the beginning of this year^*, because I deposited $50 after seeing that notice, and it was immediately frozen, knowing that I had not used that account during the past two months.

Read ----> OKX frozen my account and required me to KYC with a less than $1,000 deposit

* Maybe more 

I don't understand why Huobi and Poloniex exchange have such a high withdrawal fee... around $30 is a lot with current btc mempool state, but maybe they are making profit like this  
Based on this table and after recent Kucoin changes, it seems to me that MEXC looks like next best option, but it's certainly not without risk to use it.
Many if not all centralized exchanges got hacked at some point.

Unfortunately Kucoin is no longer exchange without kyc and now you have to pass full kyc documents if you want to use full features. New user after July 15 will not be able to use any service while old user deposit service will be impacted.

Check full detail in their twitter page

https://twitter.com/kucoincom/status/1674002527057252352?t=mGQQ9w-YzjmJ3MwdvWBNhw&s=19

It's not all of them though. If my memory serves me correctly, Bittrex never allowed users to do that back when they enforced KYC so it's probably best to check with other individuals first.

I have been on the forum for almost 10 years, that's exactly why I'm drawing your attention so that you give the wrong advice. You can risk your funds, but if you don't plan to cover possible losses due to your advice, maybe you should be careful when you confidently refer to your knowledge and experience.
Of course, unless you are a Kucoin representative here, then you can safely claim that filling out KYC with random data has no way of causing any problems.

In the end, I don't see why it would be a risk at all with your "method", even after the last date withdrawal will be allowed without KYC. Whoever wants to continue trading there, does not gain much by delaying the whole thing for 15 days.


edit: source https://www.theblock.co/post/236838/crypto-exchange-kucoin-mandatory-kyc

I encountered this issue before, Exchange allowed me to update first the general information I provided before I submit an ID. Probably they knew that most of initial identity provided on the KYC is fake. I dod this both on gambling platform or exchange and I manage to complete both KYC without a problem.

I’m not sure if this is allowed on current ToS but I experience this on Bybit when they first launch their BIT token and I need to KYC verify my exchange account to claim my airdrop token.

Certainly, I would not try or advise anyone to go through KYC with random data, are you aware that this can cause serious complications in case of an additional check? Would he risk holding money under such conditions?
How many times have we seen exchanges ask for subsequent KYC, with a selfie and the ID doc?

Did people receive email/s prior to the 5K lifetime limit? OKX appears to be dead silent about this. I could only find one tweet:


Digging a bit more on twitter and I see people who claimed to have not been informed about anything and has effectively locked the excess funds on OKX until they KYC. Pretty unethical move to not give people ample time to withdraw.

Just another day with CEx's ig... it's either we have to be prepared to KYC or forfeit our money.

I wouldn't expect Kucoin to do that without announcing it in advance. They're not that strict.

I know a few people who used the exchange from restricted countries, and Kucoin still allowed them to withdraw their funds when they detected that.

I am using Kucoin and no KYC required yet. People can be thinking that Kucoin may require KYC later because of the regulatory pressure. Some weeks ago, Kucoin was unable to meet the regulatory requirements in Canada and they are no longer able to provider exchange service to Canadians.

What makes you not to trust Bybit? I use the exchange too. The withdrawal on all the exchanges that I am using are very fast, not only on Bybit. Among the ones listed here, I use Huobi global, OKX, Bybit and Kucoins. They all have fast withdrawal.

I am using four exchanges without Kyc now and all working well till now. The most safe exchange i think is Kucoin but now they are also looking for KYC just like Binance this why i withdraw my fund from Kucoin now and only using Bybit, Mexc and Bitget.

Bybit deposit and withdraw function is quite fast but problem here is that new coins are very rarely listed here while Mexc and Bitget is so fast to list new coins especially shit coins.  for new users who always look for free money opportunity i will recommend Bitget and Bybit because there are lots of free guaranteed airdrop where you have to just register and do some easy task but i am afraid on these two exchange like FTx while Mexc is looking safe.

I don't know about BingX, but Phemex is pretty good. I use it often to trade derivatives using Leverage.

MEXC is still buggy and I don't trust it that much. Sometimes their futures price goes way off the index price perhaps because of manipulation and low liquidity and people get liquidated even before they blink. They also spam so much even on the notification bar.

Bitget is probably in the same category. Only thing good about those two is probably if you like to trade shitcoins as soon as they have been introduced. Those platforms tend to list them quickly

I don't know how I missed this thread, I've been searching for something like this for a while.

After having to close Bybit acc, I narrowed it down to MEXC, Phemex and BingX - I'm happy to see they are all on the list as well. Any favorites?
BingX is shilled to me by the same guy that sent me to Bybit early on so I guess I'll try that one first.

Kucoin still does not have KYC? I was sure they implemented it months ago, I traded there a lot. They were hit hardest by UST fiasco so I ran away shortly after the Luna collapse.

I could be wrong but I think this has something to do with them moving to Dubai. Both Bybit and OKX received a provisional license to operate in Dubai last year and just a couple of weeks ago Bybit announced opening their HQ in Dubai, and then they required KYC shortly (a couple of days) after. So it's very possible that OKX is preparing for the same thing.
 

OKX will not require KYC up to certain amount of money that you want to withdraw. My complain was that they asked me for my phone number and verify the phone number through text message received with the phone number from OKX before I was able to withdraw my $40. I was disappointed to see that, but some people will not consider that as KYC because sim card can be gotten in some countries without registration and some people can use fake identity to register sim.

We requires KYC in the most of the exchanges in the list….as like Bitget ..I’m using Bitget for trading purposes and it requires KYC before any withdrawal and deposit….so the list must be updated I think….

I used to use OKX also and it also requires to done KYC first before any trading and all that stuff

Mate, why are you suggesting scam exchanges?

Yobit and HitBTC are far from being legit exchanges. If they don't use shitcoins like Yodollar that are created by the exchange to scam users, they will put the deposit and withdrawal wallets under maintenance indefinitely so that traders loose, and they make money or levy very high and unreasonable withdrawal fees on users

If you think I am lying, just check the withdrawal fees of Yobit and HitBTC across different tokens and coins, then compare them to the popular exchanges.
HitBTC has been scamming users in the name of KYC. Just do a small search on the scam accusations board and look at their forum account trust feedback.

Ratimov's move not to include such exchanges in the list is plausible. You have no idea how many newbies and guest users come across such threads while browsing.

You're right Bitfinex was displaying few messages to invite users to verify their account but now they are announcing they will only allow trading without KYC till June 21. I just made a post on their thread. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62174453
Withdrawals without KYC will still be available after this date from what they say, though.
I just made a withdrawal (to Yobit) there and everything has been quick and smoothly so it seems to still be ok for now.

I understand you don't want to mention the swiss exchanges because they are not very large and famous but if I can make a suggestion I think you could mention as a note at the bottom of your post at least, exchanges like Yobit and Hitbtc because they are very famous and many people will think you've forgotten them. Or you could make a kind of black list maybe.

As a russian speaker it's weird you haven't mentioned one exchange that has never asked a KYC to anyone AFAIK and that is very unlikely to do it one day : Yobit. Bitfinex(until June 21) is also a very big exchange with large volumes and don't ask KYC for doing common trading there. Hitbtc has a bad reputation and is not reliable but doesn't ask KYC too.
On top of that some exchanges from Switzerland allow to buy and sell fiat without any KYC under $1000 per day/$100K per year thanks to the Swiss legislation : Mt Pelerin, Bity, Relai, Bittr and Peach
https://www.mtpelerin.com/faq/how-to-buy-bitcoin-in-switzerland

It makes no sense having the BTC withdrawal limit at 5 BTC worth $147,660 right now yet algo is just at 4,000. What I have known for some exchanges is that they peg the daily withdrawal limit to either BTC or USD/T

If you withdraw 4,000 algo, the equivalent amount in BTC will be deducted from the daily BTC withdrawal limit to leave you with the limit remaining.

Huobi may have a 5BTC daily limit, but they set very low limits for each withdrawal like 4000 ALGO (~$800) , so you should be ready for these kind of surprises from them.
Some other coins have less than $100 limits , and ERC20 tokens with $300 limit and a $30 withdrawal fee...





Also this - https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/12sutva/huobi_exchange_silently_removes_trading_pairs_and/

This just came out[1]. Apparently, starting from May 8th, it's going to be mandatory for Bybit users to complete Lv1 verification (ID + Selfie).

So now, the only decent options are OKX and Kucoin. I'm wondering who's turn next.

[1] https://cointelegraph.com/news/bybit-to-introduce-mandatory-kyc-requirements-starting-may-8

If you are interested, you can expand your list thanks to the data from this resource.

- https://kycnot.me/

For the most part, the list consists of p2p exchanges, most of which are ardent opponents of KYC.

Thanks.
Just to the let you know, the Lv1 data aren't being verified.

Yes. OKX does support both LN deposits and withdrawals but as mentioned above, you now need to complete the Lv1 verification first (full name + ID number).



Alternatively, you can look into this list: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-instant-exchanges-5218464

Thank you, indeed, the exchange has introduced mandatory KYC for everyone. When entering the exchange, the user is greeted with the following window:



KYC levels look like this::

---

I had some DOGE there to test the exchange, before it was possible to withdraw funds without KYC, but now the withdrawal was blocked. Another loss in this list of exchanges.

Is there one that accept deposits in LN?

The exchange stole the design of Binance, the exchange indicates that it is in partnership with coingecko, although this exchange is not displayed in the coingecko search engine, it is displayed only in the coinmarketcap rotation, but there is no data at all. More like a scam, I registered there, the withdrawal limit without KYC is 0.2 BTC, but I will not add such a no-name exchange to this list.


These are also garbage exchanges, for which no monitoring can provide data, it is highly discouraged to use them, they are the same garbage dumps as Yobit, and maybe even worse.


And this is a suitable exchange, thanks. It can be seen that the exchange has great functionality, various trading options, there is a lot of rubbish in the listing, but there are also modern projects, the trading volume is several hundred million dollars.

---

This list consists of exchanges that are up-to-date and that are popular, those exchanges that you suggested...these are not exchanges, they are outright garbage that you need to stay away from. These exchanges (although they don't look like exchanges at all) are even worse than Yobit, look at their listing, what they trade and you will understand that they can't be on the same list with exchanges like KuCoin or Huobi.

The purpose of this thread is not to collect all non-KYC exchanges. Exchanges that can be used are collected here, because they have modern functionality and modern coins, and also allow trading without KYC.

---

---

That's just for basic verification. I noticed it with some other less strict exchanges as well, that allow you to enter random stuff. The problem is, the information you fill in can't be edited in most cases. So one day in the future, they shock you by asking you to update your KYC documents when you are in the middle of a withdrawal and that's when things get quite messy.

It looks like filling in personal info is now required. Because it was showing me ~3.6 BTC yesterday (100K USD). Now I logged in, to check the withdrawal page and take you a screenshot... and it's forcing me to pass level 1 account verification (country, full and ID number) to increase my limits to 500k USD (which is ~17.6BTC with the current rate) and to let me withdraw my funds:

FOR OKX:

- Withdrawal limits: 10BTC -> about ~100K USD.
- Withdrawal fees: they're the same for LN, but higher for on-chain. 0.0002BTC -> 0.00036BTC. I'm not sure if they've only increased them due to the current state of the mempool[1] or if it's going to stay this way so it's probably better to wait a few days to see before you update the topic.

[1] https://mempool.space/

I registered on bybit a year or six months ago, there were requirements for KYC only for p2p, and since there was no p2p on Binance, or I didn't know. Obviously I passed verification. The requirements are the same and remained - checked. I consider Bybit one of the best exchanges.

In one of the articles, I found the PrimeXBT platform as the best anonymous exchange platform without KYC requirements. Frankly, I do not see it as popular in the market as the rest of the other exchange platforms in your list @Ratimov. I tried to create an account and could use this platform without KYC, but there are limits. Still, after I checked the FAQ of this exchange, it turns out that the PrimeXBT platform has the right at any time to conduct a verification of the customer's identity or the source of funds to ensure that the user does not violate the requirements of anti-money laundering. Who has tried this platform? Please give your opinions about it. Is it trustworthy?

After some messages from various users and events around FTX, some exchanges have dramatically changed their KYC policy, so I decided to inform users who see this topic what awaits them now when registering on certain exchanges.

This list was checked by me personally, yesterday I registered on all exchanges and got the following results. Below is a list of exchanges where you can register an account, generate cryptocurrency deposit addresses, deposit to these addresses, trade and withdraw these funds freely without providing any personal data:

---

Now for the rest of the exchanges:

FTX - This is a scam, the exchange went bankrupt.

---

ByBit no longer allows new users to use the exchange without going through full KYC. When registering a new account, you are greeted with the following warning when you try to make a deposit:



Over the past 3 days, I tried to create 2 accounts from different browsers, devices and IPs, and also asked 5 of my friends from different cities to register. The result was the same, it is impossible to make a deposit without going through KYC with sending a scan of the passport and a selfie. Support continues to respond with general phrases that KYC is not required on the platform, although in fact this is far from the case. The reason why I still do not exclude this exchange from this topic is that yesterday I was informed that it is still possible to register a new account without KYC, but using a VPN. Apparently the exchange has now decided to do selective KYC for different regions, but there is no official explanation from the exchange itself.

---

The exchange followed the same path as Bybit and now requires personal data before making a deposit. First name, last name, and document number (passport or driver's license). You can write random data and the exchanges will accept them immediately, after that you can fully use the exchange. But here it turns out the same effect as starting to use the exchange from a purchased account, that is, before the first check. As soon as the exchange considers that you will need to confirm your data that you entered randomly, this will mean the death of your account and your funds.

---

You will be allowed to make a deposit without KYC and even allowed to withdraw funds without KYC, but as soon as you start to show trading activity, KYC will be asked. In general, the exchange may be suitable for deposit-withdrawal operations, or exchange, but as a full-fledged trading, you can no longer do without KYC.

---

I also found another exchange where KYC is not required, Phemex exchange:

---

The essence is exactly the same as OKX, you need to enter the same random personal data, then access to deposits will open.

---

---

In general, the situation with KYC on centralized exchanges continues to deteriorate and I think the trend will continue in the future.

Has anyone tried to create an account with Bybit recently? to confirm whether they are still asking users to verify their identity based on their region as mentioned above?

I managed to both create and withdraw funds from my account last month without a problem. I also checked their KYC policy, and it doesn't look like the location of the user matters: https://www.bybit.com/en-US/help-center/bybitHC_Article?language=en_US&id=000001025

Also to update the list: the limits are now 20K (per day) or 100k USD (per month) and not 2BTC.

My criteria is based only on long personal experience, not other people's opinions from the Internet, and this is the most important thing. In general, in 5 years of dealing with centralized spot and derivatives exchanges, I have never encountered a scam or any problems associated with a long account blocking, long correspondence with technical support and other concerns when it comes to centralized exchanges.

Someone may say that I was just lucky, it is their right to think so. But if, when interacting with exchanges, you always use clean ip, clean addresses, clean cryptocurrency, do not log into your accounts from public places, vpn, proxy, etc, then there will never be any problems. The only thing to fear is the hacking of the exchange. No one is immune from this, even in the DEX there are leaks through phishing or smart contracts.

A good list, thank you for this great effort in searching and reviewing these platforms and making this most wonderful list, in your list, I am very preferred to use Kucoin, Huobi Global, and Mexc platforms, they explicitly have great advantages & features and good fees and they are among the best trustworthy platforms in the crypto square that a person can trade and withdraw his funds without passing the KYC, I hope that every beginner sees your list and puts it as a reference and a bookmark and deals with these platforms attached to the topic and not others Because of the spread of many other scam exchange platforms. As for me, I do not rely on keeping funds on the central exchange platforms, only I use the best of these exchanges at the time of trading only, and this is a security option for me.

Agree with what you said friend, because of my experience before last year I had an account with binance, it has 2FA, and I am also fully verified on their platform. The time came when I opened my account in binance, I couldn't enter because when I entered the 2FA code it was always invalid, and I chatted with their support and that's exactly what happened.

     Then, I was given instructions and I followed them, but in the instruction that was given, I needed a 2FA code, it's always invalid, so I said maybe I can unbind my 2FA and I was told that it's not possible, now I showed my transactions in binance like deposit and withdrawal and that's uid number, as well as my full name and mobile number, then they gave it to me and what they did was pass me KYC again and then my 2FA was unbinding and I changed it to Authy not google authenticator anymore.

It just means that the centralized exchanges can freeze the account, they can also unbind our 2FA.

Is there an exchange on binance cloud that also offers derivates? Mandala exchange only offer spot trades.

dkbit98, if we take as a basis the statement Exchange with fake volumes = crap, then we can safely attribute almost all known exchanges to the CRAP category. I have already published a separate topic on this theme: Fake trading volumes still thrive among exchanges

This is abused by almost all well-known exchanges, it is part of their business, and not developed regulation in the field of cryptocurrencies. Some abuse less, some more. But this does not mean that the exchange is a crap, it is quite possible to use it. For me, an exchange is garbage if it constantly blocks withdrawals or lists solid illiquid garbage in the listing. But you seem to have different criteria.

Regarding Bitfinex, got this one on Saturday.

https://imgur.com/a/Ggje8LN

On FTX, you can enter random data and use a virtual phone number. But with such a registration, I would not start depositing large amounts on the exchange, as the exchange warns that with such a level of KYC, they can request additional data at any time. I tried to make some small bitcoin and altcoin deposits. The exchange has the best conditions for withdrawing funds. You won’t find cheaper when it comes to large and well-known exchanges:


I have been using this exchange regularly for 2 years and constantly exchanging various tokens, I have not noticed any scams or garage methods of doing business. The exchange is top-notch and easy to use. It reminds me of my story about interaction with BitMex. For 3 years I interacted with the exchange for tens of thousands of dollars, and all these 3 years I was told horror stories about the imminent scam of this exchange and that the exchange is deceiving everyone. Now it's the turn to listen to horror stories and fairy tales about MEXC.

SFR10, thanks, corrected. The fact is that this inscription is not displayed when the Russian language is set in the settings, so I did not see this limit:

@Ratimov You may consider adding tradeogre.com & altquick.com to this list.

Please DYOR before adding.

This thread is only for the well knowns so it's likely that they won't be included. Instant exchanges like changelly and changenow also has a different thread, see: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-instant-exchanges-5218464.


Not so much... you may check their profile and judge for yourself: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/changelly-823207

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?

I would say that all centralized exchanges fake their volume, including the most popular ones, its just the matter of what percentage of their volume is fake. In MEXC case I think its very high, much higher than of for example Binance, FTX, Coinbase etc.


It is a high indeed (AFAIK withdrawal limit is even higher than that, according to this and for that you have to go through KYC), but Binance has even higher, that goes up to insanely high 8 million USD for users that did standard KYC.


That's the thing, everyone has a different criteria; for some all centralized exchanges are crap, while some don't have issues using all kinds of dodgy exchanges. But since you are the one who is creating this list, its up to your criteria of course.

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.

Honestly I never registered on MEXC and I never used it, so I can't say how good or bad they are, but their volume is probably all fake.
I am not saying this exchange is not working right now, but isn't 20 BTC withdrawal limit for MEXC looks suspicious, when all other exchanges are reducing their limits or totally removing them like Binance.
I don't know many other reliable exchanges that ever had such a big withdrawal limit per day, but anyway I just registered to test how it is working.
Interface is like a mix of Binance and Kucoin, pages are opening fast so I don't have any complains so far.

$1400 is a limit for trading with fiat currencies, not cryptocurrencies. I didn't just clarify, but thanks for pointing it out.

@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]!

You may have missed one of the requirements written by OP, and that's that for exchange to end up on the list it has to be relevant and well known (beside being KYCless ofc). Imho Cointiger fails on that regard but let's wait for his opinion.


I wouldn't call MEXC top exchange like @Ratimov (there are other things to consider other than inflated volume when deciding whether some exchange is "top") did but its not a bad place to trade wide selection of shitcoins, as that's whats its main role. And yeah, wouldn't trust them with amounts higher than a few thousands of dollars.

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

I've never used the us version, I'm talking about the .com site. To get level 1 verification, which opens access to the withdrawal of $ 2000, you need to fill out the following things:





If such a registration fits into the category "without KYC", then okay, FTX then also fits.



I checked, this applies to deposits and withdrawals through the bank, then the minimum amount is $ 10,000, but there are no restrictions for cryptocurrencies.

---

This is not the year 2015 to attribute the use of exchanges primarily to the availability of bitcoin and monero. A trade or exchange has only one advantage to use: if you have ancient shitcoins that are no longer on any top exchange, then such a crap is quite suitable for use.


Yeah, it's very appropriate to compare a billion-dollar top exchange like MEXC to some dull low-liquid shit that is TradeOgre. Of course, you don't have any intelligible justification why such an exchange as MEXC is crap.


Read the OP carefully, it just said about listing well-known and large exchanges, and not all the shit in a row where there is no KYC:


I didn't make it my goal to create a thread by dumping all sorts of non-KYC exchanges, but thanks for mentioning Bitfinex, it was really helpful.

Like I said before, I never filled any of my real personal information and phone number field is empty, I never sent them any documents and I can still use ftx exchange perfectly normal for all crypto deposits and withdrawals.
They can ask whatever they want each time I log in but it's not mandatory for limited amounts up to $2000 per day.
They could change this at any time so I am not recommending anyone to use this method with larger amount of money.

LOL billion-dollar top exchange located maybe in some chinese village garage, it has fake volume and unrealistic high amount of BTC withdrawal limit... scam just waiting to happen

If use the exchange for trading and speculation, then decentralized exchanges are not suitable for this, they cannot fully replace CEX exchanges.


No, on FTX without KYC, even a crypto address for a deposit cannot be created.


This exchange has always been KYC oriented and requires a minimum of $10,000 to open an account.


The most terrible exchange, which presents almost a continuous mountain of garbage, with the exception of some old cryptocurrencies (DOGE, ETH, LTC). There are no stablecoins or modern cryptocurrencies.

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?

Are you sure about trading limit of 1400 dollar on kucoin? I made a search and couldn't find any official announcement.
Even if there's such a limit, it should be for trading cryptocurrencies with fiat and I don't think there's any limit for trading cryptocurrencies with cryptocurrencies.

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.

I have been using this exchange (albeit rarely) since 2020, no scams have been noticed. Withdrawals are seamless, so I don't understand what kind of scam you're talking about here. About changing passwords, 2FA, and other information. This is practiced by many exchanges, not only CoinEx. Any change of data, including IP and browser, may provoke a temporary blocking of the account and a requirement to pass KYC.

OP I think there are few more exchanges that can work without mandatory KYC verification, but there is always a risk they could ask for your documents anytime.
Best option is to using decentralized exchanges like Bisq, or other p2p exchanges, but I will name few more centralized exchanges that are not in your list.

FTX.com - Reliable exchange that can be used without KYC, but if I remember correctly limit was only $2,000.
Mandala - This exchange is using Binance Cloud and I think limit was 2 BTC.
Bitfinex - Well known exchange that can be used without KYC but I can't remember limits.
TradeOgre - Smaller exchange but without KYC.

There are few other small exchanges like Bilaxy, FMFW, BTSE, Nominex, Digifinex, but they are higher risk.
Other exchanges can be found on kycnot.me website:

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.

I use three of these platforms and it will be useful if you try the rest.
Which exchanges are closest to OKX since they have high liquidity rates, relatively fast orders (better than KuCoin and ByBit) with very low withdrawal fees.
It is good to mention that these platforms do not ask for KYC but it is better to avoid creating too many accounts because in the end they will close them and ask for it.

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.



 

Why Poloniex is included in your list this exchange was a scam since 2017 and it must be removed from your list.

And take note of CoinEx exchange they are good site where you can trade without KYC but if you forgot your password and you are attempting to recover your account CoinEx will ask for KYC verification. I have issue recently with them all my mine coins are automatically transferred to their exchange(From ViaBTC to CoinEx) the problem is I'm planning to withdraw my funds from them but I can't able to login I don't know why but I'm sure my password is correct that is why I ended up using forgot password and it requires to pass KYC verification with your selfie including your fan sign that you are changing your password after giving them it changed and can able to login again.

So if you are using Coinex make sure that you are ready if this will happen to you the same as mine because KYC is required when resetting the password.

This happens quite often if you use the OKX exchange strictly for depositing / withdrawing coins with small amounts, as an exchanger. The exchange does not like this and therefore may ask people to verify their phone number. Any centralized service is a risk, but  have not yet created a full-fledged DEX that would completely replace exchanges like OKX, so their use will still be relevant. But now it is already such a time that most crypto users are not at all embarrassed by KYC.

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.
