KuCoin commencera les vérifications KYC obligatoires en juillet
- KuCoin a une base d'utilisateurs impressionnante d'environ 20 millions.
- Les utilisateurs existants de KuCoin non KYC ne seront pas autorisés à déposer après le 15 juillet, mais pourront effectuer des retraits.
- D'autres échanges cryptographiques, comme Bybit, font lentement des vérifications KYC une partie obligatoire de leurs opérations.
- Certains utilisateurs de KuCoin ont exprimé leur déception face à la nouvelle politique, notant qu'ils n'étaient pas à l'aise de partager leur identité.
Les utilisateurs de l'échange cryptographique KuCoin feront l'objet d'une surveillance accrue à partir de juillet, car l'échange est sur le point d'introduire des contrôles obligatoires Know Your Customer (KYC). Le nouveau politique, qui débutera le 15 juillet, s'appliquera aux anciens et aux nouveaux utilisateurs.
Existing users who have not completed KYC checks by July 15 will not be allowed to use the exchange’s services, such as making deposits, spot trading, margin trading deleveraging, and futures trading deleveraging.
However, these users will be allowed to withdraw and access services such as redemptions at KuCoin Earn, KuCoin’s lending and staking hub. In addition, new users would have to complete the KYC process to use the exchange’s services.
“Protecting customers’ assets is our primary duty. We will timely update the KYC requirements and corresponding limits according to the relevant legal obligations and integrate them with the properties of various products and network environments. Please pay attention to our announcements on the platform so that you can consistently be informed of the latest information,” KuCoin wrote in a blog post.
KuCoin CEO Johnny Lyu explained that to complete the KYC process, users will have to provide details such as “their name, identification number, and identification photo, and undergo facial recognition.”
He remarked that KuCoin requires “customer identification information, including information on the customer’s name and further identifiers such as a physical address, date of birth, and national ID number.”
Les échanges cryptographiques tels que Binance ont été critiqué for aiding fraud, and regulators blame their poor emphasis on KYC checks as a core reason for the increase in crypto fraud. Kucoin’s decision to mandate KYC requirements is part of its effort to comply with the global anti-money laundering policy.
KuCoin also requires information on the customer’s business and risk profile in keeping with the demands of the applicable laws and regulations. KuCoin is arguably one of the biggest crypto exchanges, with an alleged registered user base of almost 20 million.
The news of mandatory KYC checks was received with mixed emotions by the exchange’s users. Some believed the crypto exchange had succumbed to the government’s pressure, while others expressed total discomfort with revealing their identities.
