What are the best options? I'll consider DEX or CEX, whichever gives the best deal.
They are no too many CEX out there that actually trade without KYC, your best shot is what is suggested by the Omega up there. You can as well go through other non-kyc exchanges from
kycnot.me or also use exchange monitors like
Best_Changethen the first name that will come is Binance and KuCoin, you can easily create an account in these two exchanges, but if you want to deposit, withdraw or trade, you need to do verification. Even so, verification is not a very difficult task, if you submit your information correctly, your account will be verified within two to five minutes. As it is about money, I think it would be a good decision to submit KYC and then trade or deposit.
OP doesn’t wants a KYC platform like those you listed there, yes just as you have said KYC verification aren’t hard but they are some people who want total anonymity or privacy and using KYC platforms breaches that. Even though it is about money there is no obligation to use KYC platforms because even if you do and your funds get lost it’s not like they usually return them.
