Current list of exchanges without KYC

[Ratimov]

I decided to highlight a list of relevant large and well-known exchanges that provide deposit/withdrawal of funds, and in most cases full-fledged trading, without KYC. The list is up-to-date at the time of the creation of this list and has been personally verified by me, since I am registered on all these exchanges. Only well-known exchanges were used in the rating, I will not add here any nonameEX exchanges with very low liquidity and a meager set of instruments, since there is a high risk of scam.

In the paragraph of other restrictions, I added only what concerns deposit/withdrawal of funds and trading. If you want to fully use any of these exchanges, namely staking, voting, airdrops, launchpads, etc., then you will have to go through KYC.

Exchange	Withdrawal limit per day	Fee for withdrawal BTC	Minimum withdrawal BTC	Other restrictions for users without KYC
________________	__________________	_______________________	__________________	________________________________________________________________
Bitget	50 000$	0.0005 BTC	0.008 BTC	Without fiat trading capability, Monthly withdrawal limit is $100,000
Ascendex	2 BTC	0.0005 BTC	0.01 BTC	---
KuCoin	1 BTC	0.00002-0.0005 BTC	0.0005 BTC	Daily fiat-to-crypto trading limit - $1400
OKX	500 000$	0.00032-0.00064 BTC	0.001 BTC	---
Huobi Global	5 BTC	0.0004 BTC	0.001 BTC	futures buy limit - 999 USDT
Poloniex	50 000$	0.0005 BTC	--- BTC	---
CoinEx	10 000$	0.00017 BTC	0.001 BTC	---
MEXC	20 BTC	0.0003 BTC	0.002 BTC	---
Phemex	1 000 000$	0.0004 BTC	0.0014 BTC	Without the possibility of fiat trading
BingX	50 000 USDT	0.0002 BTC	0.0005 BTC	---
ByBit	20 000 USDT	0.0002 BTC	0.001 BTC	100,000 USDT - Withdrawal limit per month

What changed?

- Bitget - The daily limit is now $50,000, the monthly limit is $100,000 (it was 20 BTC before), the withdrawal fee BTC became 0.0005 BTC (it used to be 0.0006 BTC), the minimum BTC withdrawal amount became 0.008 BTC (before it was 0.001 BTC).
- OKX - Withdrawal limit is now $500,000 (~17.5 BTC) (previously it was 10 BTC), Commission limits have increased and now range from 0.00032-0.00064 BTC (previously it was 0.0002-0.0004 BTC). I also remind you that in order to get such withdrawal limits, you need to fill in some data, namely the First Name, Last Name and document number (passport or driver's license), but this is a pure formality, I entered absolutely random sets of numbers and letters and the exchange automatically accepts it.
- Huobi - The withdrawal limit has increased significantly and now stands at 5 BTC (previously it was 0.06 BTC).
- Poloniex - The withdrawal limit has also increased several times and now stands at $50,000 per day (previously it was $10,000).
- CoinEx -  Bitcoin withdrawal fee is now 0.00017 BTC (was 0.0001 BTC before).
- Phemex - The minimum withdrawal amount for bitcoin has become 0.0014 BTC (previously it was 0.001 BTC).

They are all centralized exchanges, they can ask for KYC at anytime.

I use Huobi global and OKX among all.

I was unable to access Huobi global derivative trading until I did KYC. Maybe this has changed

On OKX, I was able to use derivative trading, and able to withdraw to certain amount. I left the exchange for like a month or two. When I went back to the exchange, I deposited some amount of bitcoin. I converted it to USDT. A time came when I wanted to move the USDT to another address, i was asked to verify my mobile number. I was unable to withdraw until I verified my mobile number. I wanted to create a thread about this some months ago when it happened, but I just thought it is not necessary because it is still a centralized exchange.

People should know that using centralized exchanges can come with some inconveniences too like freezing of your coins and blocking of your account. But even if this is not the main discussion of today, there is still the fact that they can freeze your account and demand for KYC compulsorily.

This happens quite often if you use the OKX exchange strictly for depositing / withdrawing coins with small amounts, as an exchanger. The exchange does not like this and therefore may ask people to verify their phone number. Any centralized service is a risk, but  have not yet created a full-fledged DEX that would completely replace exchanges like OKX, so their use will still be relevant. But now it is already such a time that most crypto users are not at all embarrassed by KYC.

[BitMaxz]

Why Poloniex is included in your list this exchange was a scam since 2017 and it must be removed from your list.

And take note of CoinEx exchange they are good site where you can trade without KYC but if you forgot your password and you are attempting to recover your account CoinEx will ask for KYC verification. I have issue recently with them all my mine coins are automatically transferred to their exchange(From ViaBTC to CoinEx) the problem is I'm planning to withdraw my funds from them but I can't able to login I don't know why but I'm sure my password is correct that is why I ended up using forgot password and it requires to pass KYC verification with your selfie including your fan sign that you are changing your password after giving them it changed and can able to login again.

So if you are using Coinex make sure that you are ready if this will happen to you the same as mine because KYC is required when resetting the password.

Why Poloniex is included in your list this exchange was a scam since 2017 and it must be removed from your list.

Poloniex has been bought by Circle in 2018, and then by Tron, dumping everyone from the former company and actually trying to play nice with the SEC. It's not that great of an exchange and still does some shady stuff but it's nothing like it was before during the "hack".

It might be interesting also to add the counties which are blocked from trading on these exchanges as most of them are not allowing US citizens to do so.



 

[hugeblack]

I use three of these platforms and it will be useful if you try the rest.
Which exchanges are closest to OKX since they have high liquidity rates, relatively fast orders (better than KuCoin and ByBit) with very low withdrawal fees.
It is good to mention that these platforms do not ask for KYC but it is better to avoid creating too many accounts because in the end they will close them and ask for it.

[Oshosondy]

This happens quite often if you use the OKX exchange strictly for depositing / withdrawing coins with small amounts, as an exchanger. The exchange does not like this and therefore may ask people to verify their phone number.

Probably what that happened. I deposit on the exchange frequently and of low amount like $40. Probably what that caused it. Many people will prefer to do it the way I did it too and a means it is very possible many people on OKX are doing KYC compulsorily.

I like OKX though, the exchange has high liquidity. But about the KYC, I will not advice anyone to believe on those centralized exchanges like I said before, your coins are with them, they can make it impossible for withdrawal until you provide KYC.

I remembered when Binance made KYC mandatory, I asked people on this forum if OKX is good. I joined OKX, thinking KYC would not be requested for, but I was forced to do KYC. That is the point.

It might be interesting also to add the counties which are blocked from trading on these exchanges as most of them are not allowing US citizens to do so.

That is US, they prefer to just trade on exchanges where only US customers are present, except those p2p exchanges. About including the countries where the exchanges are not allowed, the list can be very long and I do not think it is necessary for the OP to do that because it is not what we are talking about.

[Ratimov]

Why Poloniex is included in your list this exchange was a scam since 2017 and it must be removed from your list.

I have been using this exchange (albeit rarely) since 2020, no scams have been noticed. Withdrawals are seamless, so I don't understand what kind of scam you're talking about here. About changing passwords, 2FA, and other information. This is practiced by many exchanges, not only CoinEx. Any change of data, including IP and browser, may provoke a temporary blocking of the account and a requirement to pass KYC.

[dkbit98]

OP I think there are few more exchanges that can work without mandatory KYC verification, but there is always a risk they could ask for your documents anytime.
Best option is to using decentralized exchanges like Bisq, or other p2p exchanges, but I will name few more centralized exchanges that are not in your list.

FTX.com - Reliable exchange that can be used without KYC, but if I remember correctly limit was only $2,000.
Mandala - This exchange is using Binance Cloud and I think limit was 2 BTC.
Bitfinex - Well known exchange that can be used without KYC but I can't remember limits.
TradeOgre - Smaller exchange but without KYC.

There are few other small exchanges like Bilaxy, FMFW, BTSE, Nominex, Digifinex, but they are higher risk.
Other exchanges can be found on kycnot.me website:

If use the exchange for trading and speculation, then decentralized exchanges are not suitable for this, they cannot fully replace CEX exchanges.

FTX.com - Reliable exchange that can be used without KYC, but if I remember correctly limit was only $2,000.

No, on FTX without KYC, even a crypto address for a deposit cannot be created.

Bitfinex - Well known exchange that can be used without KYC but I can't remember limits.

This exchange has always been KYC oriented and requires a minimum of $10,000 to open an account.

TradeOgre - Smaller exchange but without KYC.

The most terrible exchange, which presents almost a continuous mountain of garbage, with the exception of some old cryptocurrencies (DOGE, ETH, LTC). There are no stablecoins or modern cryptocurrencies.

[dkbit98]

No, on FTX without KYC, even a crypto address for a deposit cannot be created.

Yes you can.
You can't do anything on their US version website, but .com version still works fine, except for futures options that can't be used.
They are counting this as Level 1 verification and you can withdraw 2000 USD per day, even if you didn't pass any real verification.
For Level 1 you can't use fiat deposits and withdrawals, but I think it's the same for all other exchanges.
Each time you log in there would be asked a question to add phone number, but you don't have to do it.


https://help.ftx.com/hc/en-us/articles/360027668192-Individual-Account-KYC

This exchange has always been KYC oriented and requires a minimum of $10,000 to open an account.

I never heard of such thing that you need $10k to open account, and it's simply not true.
Sure they can ask for KYC anytime, but that is not the point.
Bitfinex = Tether = USDT

The most terrible exchange, which presents almost a continuous mountain of garbage, with the exception of some old cryptocurrencies (DOGE, ETH, LTC). There are no stablecoins or modern cryptocurrencies.

There is Bitcoin, monero and it works.
Please don't tell me that crap like MEXC or Ascendex you listed are ''good'' exchanges.  
This is not the topic with review about exchanges, just about ones that don't have mandatory kyc.
I don't recommend any exchanges I listed before, except Bisq and I clearly said that.

I've never used the us version, I'm talking about the .com site. To get level 1 verification, which opens access to the withdrawal of $ 2000, you need to fill out the following things:





If such a registration fits into the category "without KYC", then okay, FTX then also fits.

I never heard of such thing that you need $10k to open account, and it's simply not true.

I checked, this applies to deposits and withdrawals through the bank, then the minimum amount is $ 10,000, but there are no restrictions for cryptocurrencies.

Exchange	Withdrawal limit per day	Fee for withdrawal BTC	Minimum withdrawal BTC	Other restrictions for users without KYC
________________	__________________	_______________________	__________________	________________________________________________________________
Bitfinex	--- BTC	0.0004 BTC	5$	Derivatives are not available, all operations with stablecoins and fiat

There is Bitcoin, monero and it works.

This is not the year 2015 to attribute the use of exchanges primarily to the availability of bitcoin and monero. A trade or exchange has only one advantage to use: if you have ancient shitcoins that are no longer on any top exchange, then such a crap is quite suitable for use.

Don't tell me that crap like MEXC or Ascendex you listed are ''good'' exchanges.

Yeah, it's very appropriate to compare a billion-dollar top exchange like MEXC to some dull low-liquid shit that is TradeOgre. Of course, you don't have any intelligible justification why such an exchange as MEXC is crap.

This is not the topic with review about exchanges, just about ones that don't have mandatory kyc.

Read the OP carefully, it just said about listing well-known and large exchanges, and not all the shit in a row where there is no KYC:

Only well-known exchanges were used in the rating, I will not add here any nonameEX exchanges with very low liquidity and a meager set of instruments, since there is a high risk of scam.

I didn't make it my goal to create a thread by dumping all sorts of non-KYC exchanges, but thanks for mentioning Bitfinex, it was really helpful.

________________	__________________	_______________________	__________________	________________________________________________________________
KuCoin	1 BTC	0.00002-0.0005 BTC	0.0005 BTC	Daily trading limit - $1400

Are you sure about trading limit of 1400 dollar on kucoin? I made a search and couldn't find any official announcement.
Even if there's such a limit, it should be for trading cryptocurrencies with fiat and I don't think there's any limit for trading cryptocurrencies with cryptocurrencies.

$1400 is a limit for trading with fiat currencies, not cryptocurrencies. I didn't just clarify, but thanks for pointing it out.

Hold up. I think you missed the "available benefits for successful verification".

If such a registration fits into the category "without KYC", then okay, FTX then also fits.

Looks like a soft kyc/verification to me, perhaps an honorable mention would be a better fit for ftx.com?

[dkbit98]

I've never used the us version, I'm talking about the .com site. To get level 1 verification, which opens access to the withdrawal of $ 2000, you need to fill out the following things:

Like I said before, I never filled any of my real personal information and phone number field is empty, I never sent them any documents and I can still use ftx exchange perfectly normal for all crypto deposits and withdrawals.
They can ask whatever they want each time I log in but it's not mandatory for limited amounts up to $2000 per day.
They could change this at any time so I am not recommending anyone to use this method with larger amount of money.

Yeah, it's very appropriate to compare a billion-dollar top exchange like MEXC to some dull low-liquid shit that is TradeOgre. Of course, you don't have any intelligible justification why such an exchange as MEXC is crap.

LOL billion-dollar top exchange located maybe in some chinese village garage, it has fake volume and unrealistic high amount of BTC withdrawal limit... scam just waiting to happen

[Gladitorcomeback]

Good work but you have missed Cointigers which also give you opportunity to deposit and withdraw without any kyc. USDT fee is 0.5$ minimum for Sol network and minimum trade is 10$
Xt exchange also gives you this opportunity without kyc but minimum withdraw is 55$ for Usdt but still other options available like Dash

[Rikafip]

Good work but you have missed Cointigers which also give you opportunity to deposit and withdraw without any kyc.

You may have missed one of the requirements written by OP, and that's that for exchange to end up on the list it has to be relevant and well known (beside being KYCless ofc). Imho Cointiger fails on that regard but let's wait for his opinion.

LOL billion-dollar top exchange located maybe in some chinese village garage, it has fake volume and unrealistic high amount of BTC withdrawal limit... scam just waiting to happen

I wouldn't call MEXC top exchange like @Ratimov (there are other things to consider other than inflated volume when deciding whether some exchange is "top") did but its not a bad place to trade wide selection of shitcoins, as that's whats its main role. And yeah, wouldn't trust them with amounts higher than a few thousands of dollars.

[SFR10]

@Ratimov
I'm not sure if the three interrupted lines for AscendEX means it's a complicated situation or not, but I just created a test account and the minimum withdrawal limit seems to be a whopping 0.01BTC ^[screenshot]!

[Ratimov]

On FTX, you can enter random data and use a virtual phone number. But with such a registration, I would not start depositing large amounts on the exchange, as the exchange warns that with such a level of KYC, they can request additional data at any time. I tried to make some small bitcoin and altcoin deposits. The exchange has the best conditions for withdrawing funds. You won’t find cheaper when it comes to large and well-known exchanges:

There are no fees on deposits and withdrawals, except for ETH, ERC-20 tokens, or small BTC withdrawals.  FTX users will pay the blockchain fees for all ETH, ERC20 tokens unless they have FTT staked.

Small BTC withdrawal fees: BTC withdrawals > 0.01 BTC are free. BTC withdrawals < 0.01 BTC are charged withdrawal fees after your first free one per day.

The withdrawal of ETH was only 0.0001 ETH. Cheaper just can not be found, I was pleasantly surprised. Before that, I paid 0.0012 ETH for Ethereum withdrawal on Bybit.

LOL billion-dollar top exchange located maybe in some chinese village garage, it has fake volume and unrealistic high amount of BTC withdrawal limit... scam just waiting to happen

I have been using this exchange regularly for 2 years and constantly exchanging various tokens, I have not noticed any scams or garage methods of doing business. The exchange is top-notch and easy to use. It reminds me of my story about interaction with BitMex. For 3 years I interacted with the exchange for tens of thousands of dollars, and all these 3 years I was told horror stories about the imminent scam of this exchange and that the exchange is deceiving everyone. Now it's the turn to listen to horror stories and fairy tales about MEXC.

SFR10, thanks, corrected. The fact is that this inscription is not displayed when the Russian language is set in the settings, so I did not see this limit:
