I'm looking for exchange that does not store any of your personal date and does ask you for KYC. Besides using DEX, what can you add to the list? As well as your personal experience. My current experience.

 - Withing EXODUS wallet (exchange got stuck, they forward me to 3rd party exchange for support)
 - Changelly within ledger live (not clear if they will ask for KYC or not, different info on both webs, waiting on clear reply from support)

I'm looking for exchange that does not store any of your personal date and does not ask you for KYC?

Best to still go for decentralized exchange like https://bisq.network/ or others like https://localcryptos.com/ or https://hodlhodl.com/


Expect all those instant exchanges to demand for KYC at anytime as it has happened to others before.

Direct p2p or decentralized exchanges are advisable for privacy.

Kucoin doesn't have KYC and it allows you to have the limit and can still trade there. With exodus, it's the same as atomic wallet that has an integrated exchange or they're just like the middlemen and sends us to the exchanges with a commission.
Aside from the exchanges mentioned, kucoin I think likely the good choice that you can have.

You can take a look at this post and read some of other people's experiences on their trade. The things is..the thread was last updated sometime a year ago.
- List of P2P/no-KYC exchanges (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5180421.0)

Bisq, localcryptos and hodlhodl are some of the most popular and recommended P2P exchange out there that does not require KYC nothing else.

Not really sure if I know a exchange site that does not ask KYC but in the Ledger I think they will not ask for KYC but the fee is really high, I know that because I test it out before on my Ledger and I don't think it is good. Looking online I think Changelly do ask KYC so I think it's not a safe way to exchange your coin.

KuCoin has KYC but it is not too strict like the other exchanges and KuCoin is a good exchange that you can use for additional exchange. Atomic wallet and Exodus is good wallet but I still prefer using Trust wallet. But all personal wallets that we know will have advantages and disadvantages so we need to select with care. I prefer to use Kucoin to trade because KuCoin has many coins and tokens like the other exchange, although KuCoin is not too popular like them.

Not sure about "save date", is it a transaction date?

If you are looking for a centralized exchange, it seems impossible. Dates can be used as their second database index in addition to transaction numbers. I'm not even sure that p2p exchanges will discard your transaction date records. After all, dates are quite helpful in terms of customer complaints.

When Binance turns out into a heavy restriction, those traders who were afraid to comply with KYC transfer into Kucoin which doesn't have a full restriction.
So I think if you are looking centralized exchange that doesn't have KYC, that's impossible because centralized means they are following government protocols which we know government always want to regulate all financial matters.

I suggest you to use decentralized exchange if you are looking for the no KYC exchange, I agree above, it should be Bisq and Hodlhodl.

Just like Binance, they're not strict and they have account limitation if you're not verified. Anyone can still trade there without having the need to verify the KYC and that's why they're the ones that I've thought of without any KYC needed.
I've just mentioned and compared the two multi wallets because they have a feature as an integrated exchange. I know trust wallet has the same but it's more with the BSC network.

i don't know the motive of the OP why he is asking about the no save date because each transaction will be reflected on the blockchain and you can't change or hide the date of your tx. i do agree that the first exchange that came up to my mind without kyc is kucoin. they have better liquidity than other small-medium exchanges without kyc. but traders should keep up with their updates because sooner or later, they may require compulsory kyc also. so far, i haven't encountered any prob using this exchange.

^ Probably you are talking about a wallet but at the same as an exchange right or a quick swap of your coin that did not ask KYC, right?
Just Coinomi, you can swap your coin that did not require KYC but remind that it has terrible fees but it surely does not ask for any KYC procedures and they are using Changelly third party exchange.
However, if I am wrong and you are looking for an exchange, do the suggestion above and my pick is also Kucoin.

I think OP wanted to say an exchange that doesn't require KYC and  doesn't save customer's data. It's a norm to see tradeoffs like these in software products and even services. It's a good thing there's plenty of crypto exchanges that doesn't indulge in such but I'll be weary of not-so-strict exchanges like Kucoin and others. Primarily because - they might be a target for regulatory bodies and also because they might have theirown diwnsidesto be able to offer such benefits to their customers.

Have you tried these?

• Kraken
• Kucoin
• ShapeShift

All of those I mentioned above may ask for a basic KYC but it's totally not to store your personal data information.

I would rather choose a decentralized exchange for the fully anonymous exchange, but the disadvantage is there could be a low volume of that exchange which is hard to execute your trade orders.

• Bisq
• Hodlhodl

Almost all exchange won't let you do any kind of fiat trading without going through KYC. Some exchanges will allow you to trade with some limits imposed without going through KYC, but at some point they might want you to verify yourself and your funds might get frozen. So you always have to be prepared for going through KYC, if you are using centralized exchange. As far as I know, Kraken still allows its users to trade without KYC. So you might try that. Otherwise stick with decentralized exchanges.

Hodlhodl and Bisq seems to be good options to cover my needs. The only think would left be to do a basic on chain analytic, to make sure that the funds coming is not tainted, are there any open source tools available for basic check up?

The problem of this no kyc exchanges, is any hard issue, is too hard too solve .

But for who want stay anonimus ,for some reason, its the best choise . but be careful , are so many excanges offers a easy no kyc excanges tnat are simples scamms .

I prefer to use centralized exchanges such as Binance, Bittrex, or other exchanges, although those exchanges need me to verify my account by sending the document. At least, if something happens to my account, they can help me solve the problem and I do not confuse where I should report the issue. But in the decentralized exchanges have their own policy to manage their users. So whether we want to use DEX or CEX, we need to think twice about which exchanges we will use to trade.

As for current one of the exchanges I'm using is with Kucoin and Mexc they don't require the KYC for their platform also they have a good layer of security like the email, 2fa and the OTP if you want to keep anonymous still on your decision having a KYC mostly is just to prevent the user to commit different suspicious transactions and they can easily monitor it. Still the users choice. Regarding with the storing of date i guess its too hard on that part because most of the transaction requires being transparent of having a date, amount, transaction ids.

It's the same depending on the OP on which option is chosen except on average CEX exchanges have to submit personal documents as to verify the identity of the user, some don't submit documents but that will still be limited to CEX exchanges unless DEX has unlimited exchanges .
I prefer a centralized exchange over a decentralized one, well but that option he chose was probably the best.

Without KYC my favorites are TradeOgre, Exbitron (new altcoins) and Coinex. Coinex is more modern and KYC is optional. They only ask for it to participate in airdops/promotions. But Coinex saves your ip when you log in to prevent account theft.

TradeOgre and Exbitron don't even have a KYC option.

Volume there isn't even a lot so if you think that they're good and the coins that you're trading there are still manageable to trade, that's you.
But for me, I don't think that I'll trade there, they may trying hard as an exchange but it seems that after a long time in the market, still they don't have their break and they need to do something about it if they're serious. If there's no kyc there, they better remain that rule.

It depends on the user actually since no matter what we choose there are pros and cons of both exchanges. Centralized exchange is just following the government protocol if they want to continue their business that's why a mandatory KYC for all user is needed in order for them to track whether the user is using a clean money or not.

The risk of using a decentralized exchange is quite high compared to the centralized one but just like I said, both have their pros and cons. I prefer decentralized one since its less hassle although, not all exchanges are worthy to try even if they say they have or no KYC requirements.

Using these exchanges may not be the right decision because the volume on these exchanges is very low. And trading in those exchanges where the volume is low will not be of any benefit, but there is a problem in selling assets later. So I think kucoin is a good option if you want to trade without kyc now, because there is a good amount of volume on this exchange.

As you said, it depends on us whether we will use CEX or DEX. As regular users who use CEX, we do not have a problem with that as we do not do something suspicious because we only trade and make a profit. But DEX is looked like a dark market on the dark web because we really do not know who the trader that trades using that exchange is and we do not know how to solve the problem if we get it in the future.

Besides that, each user will have comfortable choosing where they will trade. If they feel comfortable using DEX, they will stay at that exchange and vice versa. We can not force them to move to the CEX if they feel it is not right to send their documents because they still want to hide their identities. For regular users who do not intend to do something illegal, they will prefer to use CEX.

It seems like privacy related services are attached to illicit activities which they are for sure, however studies highlights it different: https://cointelegraph.com/news/only-8-of-mixed-crypto-coins-tied-to-illicit-activity-report meaning that people really value their privacy as it is one of the core functionalities of crypto. CEX is convenient for every day use, but when we talk about long term holding I would like to keep it private.

The way exchanges are going particularly the centralized ones, with time they will have to follow regulations and keep up with their services else they will be force to shut down and who will shut down a business thru successfull built from scratch when they are told to follow-up simple regulations? They wouldn't consider any thing or the harm that will come for there customer.
Now back to OP, I think Bithumb and MXC exchange don't ask for kyc, those are the ones I know with nice liquidity and they have good coins but you may be force to limit your daily withdrawal I think.

Instead of having to go through all these stress, why don’t you just go straight to DEX? I don’t know what makes you think that you’re going to be able to find a centralized exchange that doesn’t require you to do KYC before you can be able to fully make use of their exchange.

Unless you’re going to try Binance, which would allow you to use the exchange to some extent and after they would start to limit you and you would still have to do your KYC. The simple solution that you have here now is to just make use of DEX. And for your information Exodus wallet is not an exchange, it is just a wallet that is decentralized, the exchange that you see there is a third party and you will even register your email with the third party exchange, Changelly.

Well that is right, DEXs will never leave any footprint that you have and it will never ask KYC.
I understand people why they are afraid of the KYC, they are taking care of their privacy, if you don't trust high reputable exchange platform, DEXs is the right answer but of course --there is pros and cons between the DEX and CEX which is when it comes to trading, DEX is not appropriate because of the low trading volume or liquidity.
However, KYC is not my problem because I want to trade with a high volume of trading I entrusted Binance which is there is no problem with my KYC, if you do the same with me, that is a great choice.

It's all about liquidity and reasonable rates. For Bitcoin DEX like holdhodl seems best solution for now, there are few good counter-parties that can provide better rates then exodus and changelly.

Passing verification on Kucoi is not mandatory if you do not need to use additional exchange services. And if you only need spot trading, then you won't need to verify your account. I can also recommend the exchange bybit.com, where spot and margin trading is also available without KYC.

Kucoin is the only option for doing trades without verifying after Binance made it as mandatory but it seems we are not too far from the Kucoin as well to do the same. But here is the catch even though there is no mandatory KYC still we maybe asked to submit our JYC at anytime for whatever reasons so its not really 100% sure that we are going to trade with no KYC there all the time.

I have tested KuCoin, it has 1 BTC daily withdrawal limit before it asks for KYC. Im sure it can change at any moment, as with any centralised service, KYC can be asked anytime.

If you want to trade on the binance exchange without verification, install the SafePal wallet.
If you don't trust mobile apps, then buy SafePal S1 hardware wallet.

For me, it was shocking information that this could be done. But talking about privacy when using a mobile phone is ridiculous. Only if a new phone without a sim card, from which you remove microphones and cameras, and then this will not be a guarantee of your privacy.

If the exchange decides to change its rules, it should notify its users in advance, as the Binance exchange did. In this case, you should have enough time to withdraw your money from the exchange. But everyone should be prepared for the fact that in the future all CEX will require verification.

We all know that that not every centralised service plays by the rules, as they 'reserve the right' to ask for KYC at anytime, they can also do that for their advantage as well, this for example is a big problem in a field of igaming, where upon a big win withdrawal, they start to apply different KYC rules that you have 'signed on', somehow they don't use their rights when we are talking about relatively smaller amounts.

DAPP on Safepal does not serve customers well from certain countries. I've been using Binance DAPP for the past few months for futures trading and my only problem is that I have to use a VPN to load DAPP pages smoothly. I have reported it but still no improvement.

By the way, I'm in Indonesia.
