  Cryptocurrency exchanges require users to go through a whitelisting process for security reasons. By implementing a whitelisting process, exchanges can ensure that only trusted individuals can access their platform. This helps to prevent unauthorized access, fraudulent activities, and potential hacks. Additionally, whitelisting allows exchanges to comply with regulatory requirements and maintain a safe trading environment for their users.

  The whitelisting process is a precautionary measure taken by cryptocurrency exchanges to verify the identity of their users. By requiring users to provide personal information and go through a verification process, exchanges can mitigate the risk of money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illicit activities. It also helps exchanges to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations imposed by regulatory authorities.
