  Digital currency exchanges require your SSN for identity verification purposes. This is to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. While it may seem inconvenient, these measures are in place to ensure the security and integrity of the platform. However, not every digital currency exchange requires your SSN. Some exchanges may have different verification requirements, such as providing a government-issued ID or proof of address.

  Yes, most digital currency exchanges require your SSN as part of their KYC process. This is to prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities. Your SSN helps verify your identity and ensures that you are a legitimate user. However, it's important to note that not all exchanges have the same requirements. Some may have more lenient verification processes, while others may have stricter requirements.
