Just to follow up on this: now there's no problem whatsoever, and I can log into Kucoin and it's like business as usual--very strange. I wasn't kidding when I started this thread; they wouldn't let me access the site without going past a KYC step, and that had never happened before.

Very weird. Guess I'll lock the thread ~~now~~ soon. I'll keep it open for a little bit in case anyone wants to comment and hopefully people see that I wasn't forced to do the KYC procedures.

I appreciate the update. I'm still left wondering if you were on Kucoin's real site when this happened. If you were, maybe they are testing or rolling out new requirements.

Could also be Kucoin selectively enforcing KYC hoping for people to abandon their accounts with funds in them

Yeah, you always worry about crap like that, but I think Kucoin is a better exchange than that.

They have a strong track record of mimicking what the other big exchanges do. If and when they start doing mandatory KYC, they will probably do like Binance and Deribit, giving people a 1-3 month grace period to withdraw their money.
