Buying large amounts of bitcoins/crypto without KYC

[NotATether]

Where would one do this legally? As in, what platforms are you guys using for buying $10K+ worth?

I'm trying to compile a list.

Please note that the service must not KYC, or has very little and/or rare KYC.

[goldkingcoiner]

Bisq?

[NotATether]

Bisq?

I'm not sure how good the liquidity is there, but it's way too complex for normies to set up properly. (Even with Easy)

Since you opened it up to "cryptos" and not just Bitcoin... what do you think about Haveno!?

I confess I’ve never traded there, so I do not know what the liquidity is like, but as for privacy that is guaranteed, because you are buying Monero, then it is easier to convert it to Bitcoin if necessary.
Currently I see ɱ8,611.38 in liquidity on their public page.... the problem is really the need to convert it to BTC, if necessary.

Bisq liquidity is not high but you may have to stay weeks before achieving your $10k plus purchase cause you will not be able to make the purchase once.

You can check out Hodl Hodl P2P Exchange or better still Peach Bitcoin
The former is easier.
The issue is that it has some countries limitations but that can be worked around
If transactions are done below CHF1000
That's around $1200
Anything above would require some KYC since its based in Switzerland and that's among their law on KYC.

You are talking about buying this amount once, not regular purchases? That is possible. With a bank transfer you mean legally or how?

That will be a short list I think. Many P2P groups are private or invite only and sometimes even region restricted by the people in the group to prevent scams.

Hodl Hodl will work good for this amount of money if the person is not based in a special jurisdiction like that. I have had very good experience with it in the past. The important thing there is to not look at the price of the Bitcoin that you are purchasing, but to choose traders with strong reputation and long operation even if they cost more. If you pick newer ones because they are very cheap there is a risk that there coins come from criminal sources but are not yet reported or discovered, so there could be some issues later. This can happen also from the opposite direction of the transaction, if you receive fiat and it comes from a stolen account or something like that.

Try to check this list https://kycnot.me

Maybe you could find those NO KYC services that you need.

Also maybe you can learn something from here https://cryptoticker.io/en/buy-bitcoin-no-kyc-2026

There are lots of good recommendations are been posted already by lots of people here, then I think its worth to try them if they really want to buy Bitcoin. But much better if they split their purchase and don't buy in bulk to avoid any possible issues.

How about do P2p OP? I bought sometimes crypto and fiat vice versa with people only using my noncustodial wallet. Most of the platform without kyc has been mentioned but its quite rare to see a non KYC platform. There are more but with ratings or feedback on their platform seems off.

Though Im not sure doing P2p is internally legal or some sort of under the table deal.

I would not be so quick to say that it is better to split things overall besides the size of the transaction. If you split the transactions across many platforms and many providers or users on these platforms this decreases some kind of risks, but increases many others. For example the risk that you will lose your money in one platform is greatly reduced. But the risk that you will have issues because you are dealing with many platforms and many users increases a lot. For trading this kind of stuff it is better to find a reputable trader and as you build trust between each other with experience to continue working together. It is quite a delicate issue because with one method you are exposing yourself to more individuals and your data, and with the other method you are exposing the total amount to a single user. So there is no perfect option, the person has to decide himself what way they would prefer to do it.

P2P transactions are legal basically anywhere where Bitcoin is legal. To think that it is not is strange, that would be like it being illegal to sell your used phone directly to someone else. Is there a country where this is illegal?

That's right - once. Dan Held (No, not him, it was some other account) from X was asking about it ("I have clients who would be interested in this"-type situation), and it made me realize that everything I have thus far placed on BitMixList was inadequate for this purpose.

That will be a short list I think. Many P2P groups are private or invite only and sometimes even region restricted by the people in the group to prevent scams.

That's fine, if it's like a dozen or two links. But I was hoping that there would be websites for this sort of stuff.

Edit: it could also be a CEX that doesn't ask for KYC

You can check platforms in this list but some of them already closed their services.
A list of LocalBitcion alternatives.

In the list, there is Paxful that was closed but that P2P marketplace's ex founder Ray Youssef later founded noones.com that is another P2P marketplace with aim of Global South. Noones closed their service recent weeks but the pattern continues with SafetheTrade.com.

Which countries can use SafeTheTrade?

For regulatory reasons, SafeTheTrade is not available to people in the United States, in the European Union, in Russia, in Iran or in the United Arab Emirates.

Bitcointalk has a Currency Exchange section here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0
It's not the most active but it is essentially a P2P trade so there is no KYC involved.

Yobit.net is still alive even though it is still the shadiest thing I've seen

[hd49728]

Yobit.net is still alive even though it is still the shadiest thing I've seen

They're one of shadiest exchanges from their exchange operation, without customer support, to how they tried to run signature in Bitcoin forum remotely without a manager in this forum.

Their rep in the forum was banned, their signature was banned, their participants were banned in this forum for months too.

129 users who were wearing a yobit signature and had at least 1 good report against them in the last 14 days are banned for 14 days. All yobit signatures are wiped. Signatures containing "yobit.net" are banned for 60 days.

Some people were talking about neg-trusting spammers for spamming. This is not appropriate; report the posts, and if that doesn't seem to be working well, come to Meta with specific examples and suggestions.

Little or rare KYC is as bad or worse than flat out KYC IMO.

Nothing like a dice roll!

It either is or isn't, but the way to do this was/is and always has been to have a homie!

[Somegory]

We shouldn't be talking about this if Decentralised exchanges favours Bitcoin.
Is no one else noticing that every Dexs don't have Bitcoin in them?

Like AsterDex as example, you don't need KYC and you can buy high amount in a go but the problem is none of them have BTC to USDT pair, it's always the other chains like the picture shows below.



This is pretty much what you're going to get from every available Dexs, for Bitcoin that's decentralised in and out, isn't Dexs the best home for this Blockchain project? Instead the shitcoins are getting all the love.

Or am I the dumb one who don't understand?

You want me to answer this for you? jk

USDT doesn't stack under a mattress, sir.

[LoyceV]

I don't really see how that can work: if the user deposits $10K from his own bank account, the CEX knows who he is. But if the user uses a phished bank account, the CEX won't know that until it's too late. So it would be really dumb to accept this as a CEX.

I'm curious to see if there are still possibilities to do this though.

Aster does have a spot BTC/USDT market but it only seems to accept wrapped versions of Bitcoin for deposits and withdrawals. Hyperliquid on the other hand lets you deposit native Bitcoin and you can also make withdrawals to a native Bitcoin address. Liquidity is also much better on Hyperliquid spot markets. There is still a pegged token involved, Unit Bitcoin, which involves using a centralized bridge. This is not ideal because they can freeze your coins on suspicion of money laundering. It happens very rarely, but it is possible.

Yes HodlHodl is a very good option, lots of liquidity/users.

There is a user there "rizzling" who has over 4,500 trades with limits of between €500 and €50,000

or "Satoshinow" with aalmost 3,000 trades, multiple languages with a limit of up to €50,000

As regards PeachBitcoin, €1,000 was the daily limit for NON-KYC trades, anything over that and KYC
is applied. The platform is going through a re-assessment of its "licence" with the Swiss authorities,
so the service has slightly changed in the mean while.
