Bitget review
Bitget is a centralized exchange listing 507 assets, maintaining customer coins within Bitget accounts. Since January 1, 2024, the exchange mandates identity verification for crypto deposits and trading. Without this verification, on-chain withdrawals are not possible. The terms specify that verification is needed before opening an account. The US is listed as a prohibited country under these terms. In September 2026, attackers managed to move approximately $387.5 million out of a Bitget hot wallet. Bitget has indicated that this loss is covered by its User Protection Fund. In our view, Bitget is suitable for active traders comfortable with undergoing a full ID check.

The public pages do not describe what happens to balances of accounts that never verified (on-chain withdrawal is listed as a benefit of verification).

Where you live and the provider's terms
Many services on this page do not serve every country. Some exclude people because of where they live or their citizenship, not only where they connect from. Read the provider's terms before you send funds. If the terms exclude you, do not use the service, and do not try to get around the restriction, for example with a VPN.
Taxes
A service that does not ask for ID does not change your taxes. In the US, the federal income tax return asks a yes-or-no question about digital assets, and you must report digital asset transactions whether or not they result in a gain or loss. In the UK, you may owe Capital Gains Tax when you sell, swap or spend crypto, and you must keep your own records. Rules in other countries differ.
No KYC is not anonymity
"No KYC" here means the provider says it does not ask for ID in the cases its terms describe. It does not make you anonymous. Bitget's terms say it can ask for ID in these cases: Account opening (Terms 5.3); crypto and fiat deposits; trading; P2P trading; on-chain withdrawals; information requests at any time for law, identity verification, AML or any other valid reason (Terms 5.4). Regulated exchanges you send funds from or to may have to collect information about who sends and who receives a crypto transfer. Your tax duties stay the same.
Funds can be held
If a provider asks for more information during a swap or a withdrawal, it may hold your funds until it gets it. Its terms decide what happens next. In the UK, a crypto business that asks for information on a transfer to or from a self-custody wallet, and does not receive it, must not pass the funds on. Read what the provider's terms say before you send. Bitget's terms say that if a check is requested and not completed: if a user declines or does not timely answer an information request, Bitget may suspend or terminate access to the account or services immediately without notice; it can also hold or restrict accounts. The public pages do not describe what happens to balances of accounts that never verified (on-chain withdrawal is listed as a benefit of verification).
