Except for Binance, I don't trust or recommend any other exchanges as hitbtc, even though I could withdraw easily last month, it is shady when it comes to big amounts and requires KYC while my account did not need it for small amounts. Kucoin is another option while Huobi was much better than Kucoin. I used both and both seem good as of now.
If you happen to be a bounty hunter for which the tokens were only listed on HitBTC that's when you consider using it. So far I have no issue with HITBTC. Though I feel like they will be asking for KYC in the future even with a limit of less than 2BTC. The network of DEX are getting many which may solve the volatility so those who are avoiding KYC will probably just stick to these DEX.
