Another hit to anonymity: Binance KYC verification enforcement for all users.

Binance is a leading cryptocurrency exchange, as its daily turnover exceeds the turnover of other similar platforms. It offers a wide range of currencies for transactions.

Users choose this platform for the following reasons: 

• Binance was one of the first major exchanges where people could register on the platform using email and get instant access to a wide range of tokens.
• High speed of processing a large number of transactions.
• A global approach to their business and availability of the platform in multiple languages.
• Affordable fees.

This exchange is also used to help users maintain their privacy by allowing them not to complete verification. But now all clients have to provide proof of identity and pass this procedure.

Binance Essential Updates

Since now, all new users must complete KYC verification to access Binance products and service offerings, including cryptocurrency deposits, trades, and withdrawals.

Existing users who haven’t completed verification yet will have their account permissions temporarily changed to “Withdraw Only”, with services limited to withdrawal, order cancellation, position close, and redemption. 

Earlier, only users transferring large sums had to verify their accounts.

This will be carried out in phases to minimize user-experience disruption. Once users pass verification, they will be able to resume full access to Binance services.

As the Binance team mentions, these updates are necessary for users’ safety. However, everyone has to provide documents and many private details for completing this procedure, which negatively affects users’ anonymity.
