Well, it's unstoppable.
The regulations from the government and the application of kyc is inevitable. So, if you don't like those you're free to use those exchanges that don't require it.
AFAIK, kucoin still has that account tier that you're allowed to trade without any kyc but we don't know until when they'll retain that status for free kyc accounts.
i believe, sooner or later, kucoin will also ask compulsory kyc to all levels of their customers. if they want to cater a wider coverage, some countries are now very strict with the operations of crypto-exchanges offering services to their people. but up until now, take advantage of this opportunity because if you are not a heavy trader, kucoin is one of the reputable exchanges that i know of that don't require kyc with very good liquidity in a lot of trading pairs.
kyc reqmt is now common in a lot of top exchanges, but most local crypto exchanges are already requiring kyc already anyway. so if you are converting your crypto to your fiat, most likely, you already subjected yourself to kyc one way or another, that is if you are not using p2p services
Yeah, that's seen to come.
They're not going to stay with that free tier(no KYC) forever as the government might push them to require kyc to all of their customers, old and new.
That's the same as Binance, they've got that free tier for a long time and when they've taken the attention of the regulators, they have to implement kyc to all of their customers.
