  KYC verification, or Know Your Customer verification, is a process used by cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms to verify the identity of their users. It involves collecting personal information and documents from users, such as government-issued IDs, proof of address, and sometimes even a selfie or video verification. This information is then cross-checked with various databases to ensure the user's identity is legitimate. KYC verification is necessary in the cryptocurrency industry to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. It helps prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities.

  KYC verification in the cryptocurrency industry is like going through a security check at the airport. You need to provide your identification and go through a screening process before you can board the plane. Similarly, in the crypto world, you need to provide your personal information and go through a verification process before you can start trading or using certain services. It's a way for exchanges to ensure that they are dealing with legitimate users and not facilitating illegal activities.
