BloFin review

BloFin is a centralized exchange, utilizing Fireblocks for its custody infrastructure and a Merkle tree proof of reserves. Users with a Basic account get full futures trading without providing an ID document, and they may withdraw up to 20,000 USDT every 24 hours. Submitting an ID document and a selfie increases the withdrawal limit to 1,000,000 USDT. The terms oblige users to provide identification on an ongoing basis. If BloFin suspects any violations, it may freeze funds. Following a suspension, users have 5 business days to make withdrawals. The US is an excluded jurisdiction. In our view, BloFin suits futures traders who stay below the withdrawal cap.

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. BloFin's terms say it can ask for ID in these cases: Withdrawals above 20,000 USDT per 24 hours; ongoing identification requests for AML and fraud detection; verification of the legality of the sources and use of funds, per applicable law or government orders; retrieval of assets from an account deemed dormant (subject to verification requirements). 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. BloFin's terms say that if a check is requested and not completed: bloFin may suspend an account at any time, including freezing or locking funds, if it suspects violations, litigation, investigations, seizure orders, unauthorised access or unusual activity; after suspension or termination and payment of charges, users have 5 business days to withdraw; assets and data may be turned over to law enforcement or authorities.
