  Sure! When you initiate a cryptocurrency transaction on GDAX, the platform may require you to verify your identity using your webcam. This process is known as webcam identity verification. GDAX uses your webcam to capture a live video of yourself, which is then compared to the photo ID you provided during the registration process. This helps GDAX ensure that you are the rightful owner of the account and prevents fraudulent activities. It's a security measure to protect both you and the platform from unauthorized access and potential scams.
