  KYC plays a crucial role in preventing money laundering in the crypto industry. By verifying the identity of users, it helps to establish a transparent and traceable system. During the KYC process, users are required to provide personal information such as their name, address, and identification documents. This information is then cross-checked against various databases to ensure its authenticity. Additionally, KYC also involves screening individuals against sanction lists and politically exposed persons (PEP) databases to identify any potential risks. Overall, KYC acts as a deterrent for criminals looking to use cryptocurrencies for money laundering.
