It looks similar to our local exchange here in my country, even though Binance in practice is different here in my country. This policy is forced on every user asking about the name of the sender or where they came from. Even if the sender are inside on the same platform, you still forced to fill and complete the details about the sender; according to them, it is part of AML policies and taxes, but I have never experienced this on Binance, even if they told us about these details, or maybe it depends on where you live.
Actually, it is a hassle compared to big exchanges like Binance and OKX. I never experience asking for the sender's name and address. If I don't know the name of the sender and address, I'm sure my funds will likely be stuck forever on this platform.
They ask when they can't trace the transaction back to its origin. They have asked me almost two times. That's why I said before, Binance is not like any strict platform that follows every single rule or policy for every single transaction. Even if they have made it their policy, they raise such concerns for transactions they fail to understand and ask for clarification. Every time they ask, they give you around 2 weeks of time.
You can give any sender's name, they do not cross check. But the major problem is when they give your data to the authorities and the authorities are corrupt. That's why I don't like the idea. If they took full responsibility for our personal information, like how much we hold, then a large number of people would still be using them.
Recently, a wrench attack network targeted a victim who was a winner of a Binance trading competition. He gave a complete interview about what happened. In short, he won, someone tipped that information to the network, and the network had this rule. They pretended to be authorities, and they offered 30% to 40% to every victim if they would give them details about someone else who was also making a lot of money from trading or crypto.
Well, someone gave them his name and took that commission. This victim was also offered the same commission to name someone else, but he broke the chain. He openly shared everything. He lost $600k that day.
