I don't like this news. From what I know OKex doesn't handle fiat, so they should not necessarily comply rules.
On the other hand, it can be a method to avoid hacks/hackers get use of stolen coins, if the other exchanges also comply.
I agree. It is strange. Not to mention they talk for a year in Korea about it. Makes very little sense.
Well it's better than giving people false promises regarding their privacy. As soon as your real information is linked with a privacy coin like XMR or ZEC then it loses much of its anonymity.
How can you explain a bit more. You cant unlink your identity from a coin with transparent ledger once you linked your identity to them. Impossible to do it. With Monero is simple. All you need to do is send it to another valet and no one, except you , dont know where those coins come from.
