Is there a one account per person policy in Bittrex? My friend has an old basic account that he has been using since 2015 and has not encountered any problems with the exchange.
I also noticed the only accounts that are disabled are the new accounts. Any idea why?
Bittrex introduced last month a verification process for some accounts (due to so many accounts compromised). A newly created account has a limit of 0 BTC withdrawal per day. To increase the limit the person needs to set up 2FA. As per their TOS, Bittrex allows multi accounts at their own discretion
I think the changes were more so related to the charges against BTC-E and increasing involvement in the industry by regulators like the SEC. The former definitely involved lax enforcement of AML/KYC. So they are trying to increase their verification standards to at least show good faith to regulators.
I recently set up a new account, and I believe they are enforcing Basic verification for all new accounts now. Name, address, birth date, last 4 of SSN. If they can't be verified through public records, then they allow verification by phone.
I haven't used the account, so I haven't enabled 2FA. I have a 3BTC/day withdrawal limit without 2FA. Will it increase if I enable it?
