Could you elaborate on the concept of a non-KYC exchange? I've heard the term but am unclear on its specific definition and implications. In the 
cryptocurrency and finance world, KYC stands for Know Your Customer, a process where exchanges collect personal information to comply with regulatory requirements. So, a non-KYC exchange would presumably operate without this type of customer verification. What are the key differences between traditional KYC exchanges and non-KYC ones? Are there any significant risks or benefits associated with using a non-KYC exchange? And how do these exchanges maintain their operations without adhering to KYC standards?

    Non-KYC exchanges, unlike the majority, allow trading without revealing personal identity.

    This anonymity aspect is attractive for some traders who value privacy and prefer not to disclose their details.

    In contrast, exchanges like Binance and KuCoin, which were once known for supporting KYC-free accounts, have now implemented Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures.

    KYC procedures involve verifying the identity of customers by collecting personal information such as proof of identity and address.
