How to Trade Crypto with No KYC Using AI Agents
The Problem
Most centralized exchanges require government ID verification before granting API access. This requires a human — an AI agent cannot submit a passport or complete facial recognition. For fully autonomous pipelines, you need exchanges that skip this entirely.
Option 1: DEXs — Zero Friction
Decentralized exchanges require only a wallet connection. No email, no KYC — ever.
