Who decides to put withdrawal limits on KYC exchanges?! Is this companies decision or govt regulations ? 🤨

KYC exchanges have regulations, own and state, but at this point, why use KYC exchanges?

Because sometimes you can’t find someone locally who wants to sell you let’s say 1 bitcoin for cash

You can always use Robosats and sell it without KYC 👀

Robosats or bisq with small amounts ok

But definitely not the big ones!

That’s a problem for sure

gov reg mostly.

But exchanges like withdrawal limits as it reduces their cybersecurity and financial risk.

Bitcoin withdrawals should be unlimited!

Must be the exchange you’d think 🤔

I would suspect exchanges

Gubberment.

Not clear 🤷‍♂️

Fees probably to make cash of us

Govt logs into special portal for exchange. Requests limits. Company staff execute.

Wondered this myself. Took me a couple years of regular use for strike to (seemingly randomly) increase my limits to something I feel is somewhat reasonable. Still makes no sense to me.

I would venture it is the exchanges themselves in order to manage liquidity/preserve the fractional reserve.

the companies fear the gov regulations do that as preventive action.

gov regs, companies get fines for non-compliance and will default to abiding because there's more pain if they don't comply than if they do.
