Not every exachnge has global range, it would help if you disclose your whereabouts and the currency you wish to trade,
so you will receive better answers. There are many local exchanges which offer better trading options than giants like Coinbase or Bitfinex.
They certainly offer better deal if we talking about creation of account and verification needed to trade.
This one even if you send in your identification held one of it's VERIFIED members funds for two months.
Dargo:
"This que includes deposits held for other reasons that may take longer to release."
Other reasons: you are broke and stole them, for example.
I may remind YOU that you HOLD MY FUNDS for two months now. And You have NO RIGHT to do so as you KNOW my identity 100%.
You do not care anyway, as you know that I cannot do anything. You stole my money and laugh at me, keep me waiting and tell me some foggy nonsense to keep my away from having you prosecuted for theft.
I WANT MY MONEY BACK. Two months waiting is enough.
BS
If you are proving who you are and have to wait this long to get these exchanges to verify your account to be yours then why both to register with them in the first place? Doesn't make any sense to do it.
Might as well try and find one that is identification-free for you to be able to withdraw after you do trades and want to be able to get your money out when you want to.
