But I do wonder which centralized exchanges are the best ones for privacy. Maybe there is one with a location in Dubai, for example.
The best CEXes for privacy are the ones that don't have a mandatory KYC procedure. In the past I have used Poloniex, MEXC, Latoken, DigiFinex. At the time when I used them they did not require a KYC procedure, although they allowed it optionally. There are a bunch of other CEXes that I have used in the past, which did not require KYC at the time, but they now either require KYC or are too small. However if you search online, you could probably find other no-KYC exchanges that will suit your needs.
If you decide to use a no-KYC exchange (or any other exchange for that matter), check and double check everything before you send your money there.
- Search online for reviews of the exchange.
- Search forums for feedback about the exchange.
- Search for the current state of the exchange. See if it is working, if it has had any techincal problems recently, if it has been hacked recently, if they have the habit of blocking user funds and demanding KYC/AML information.
- Read the online FAQ and other documentation provided by the exchange. Check their deposit and withdrawal limits, check if users from your geographical area and/or network are allowed. Check anything else that you can think of.
