Several people talked about this website above but I still don't understand why it mentions Kucoin and not other big CEXs without KYC. CMIIW but Hitbtc, Bitfinex, Poloniex, Yobit, Hotbit,... still not require any KYC to open an account and trade on them. 
  • Poloniex: Are you sure about them? I did not use Poloniex since late of 2017 or early of 2018. Around that period, they required KYC. I submitted my document and successfully verified my account. I did not use it long enough but did they actually lift KYC requirement in latest years?
Yes I'm sure about Poloniex, that use to be one of the best move from a Cex in the last years, but Poloniex finally dropped mandatory KYC to register and use its exchange. It happened in late 2019.

There are few restrictions, but they are very light for the average Joe.
