Some decentralized exchange requires no KYC but liquidity is a problem.
Some? All decentralized exchanges don't ask for personal information. If they do, then it's not a decentralized exchange, but a centralized exchange. The whole purpose of these exchanges is to not deal with central entities anymore.
I do however agree on the liquidity being a major hindrance in terms of being more adopted. This is where tokens on Ethereum are doing well. It's super easy to switch from token to token since everything runs on the same platform.
I read an article about IDEX asking the users to complete KYC to use their verification at late 2018 not sure they implemented it or not but what makes it as DEX when they have KYC to use it.

Remember Shapeshit added KYC as well but it is really not to be considered as DEX but it is one of the most used Anonymous exchange in the past.
