What’s new? Analyst Colin Wu has reported that the OKX crypto exchange has tightened its customer verification policy (KYC). For example, the daily withdrawal limit for the first level of KYC with identification by an identity document has been reduced from 200 BTC to $5000. Wu added that the company has not announced this publicly. In this, to withdraw amounts from $5000 to $10 million, it is necessary to obtain the second level KYC, which requires passing a facial recognition procedure.

More details about second level KYC. According to the OKX website, the level of verification determines trading limits and withdrawal limits. After passing the second level KYC, which requires photo verification, the daily withdrawal limit increases to the equivalent of 500 BTC.
In order to pass Level 2 verification, one must take a photo of the front and back of one’s identity document, as well as one’s face.
All photos will be taken during verification with the client’s cell phone, which will not allow uploading of previously taken photos.
