Crypto exchange KuCoin has officially declared its proposed KYC policy upgrade on June 28, in an effort to better comply with international anti-money laundering regulations.

KYC Compulsory for New Accounts on KuCoin

As per the reports, starting July 15, 2023, everyone who registers at KuCoin will be subject to compulsory KYC checks as a result of the KYC verification change. Global bitcoin users will be affected by the upcoming KYC change. 

According to the company, new customers won’t be able to utilize KuCoin’s range of products and services until they are done with the KYC process. Those with an account who signed up before July 15, 2023, will also need to finish the KYC procedure in order to enjoy specific KuCoin features.

An Industry Trend

Many cryptocurrency exchanges have lately tightened their KYC requirements in an effort to shield their customers from fraudulent activity. However, Kaspersky predicted in November of last year that by 2023, hackers would be leveraging the Metaverse to attack unwary customers.

Furthermore, phishing attacks increased 40% from the prior year in 2022, according to a research released in April of this year by the same cybersecurity company.
