KYC can be required for accounts as i can say specially centralized exchanges will ask KYC (for low amount trading still you can use some exchanges without KYC) but you do not need to KYC for non custodial wallets, It can be hardware wallet or software wallet, your assets will be safe.
This makes good security of KYC and stops duplicate bad steps from happening. But you be careful to send KYC or it's an Airdrop. your data can be an option for them to make you lose in the future.
