Brokerages Marketplaces and Exchanges - Updates For mid 2024?

[KurtV989]

I've been going through the Crypto section looking for info on good exchanges and Marketplaces with low KYC

My most recent BTC transaction has a hold on it. AGAIN.. I've tried Kraken, CoinBase and until now was having luck with PayPal. I could purchase and immediately send to my Brave wallet. CoinBase and Kraken had me waiting a full 7 days before I could touch it, PayPal at least is shorter at 72hrs but still, ridiculous.

I haven't seen anyone mention Holds? Who else is dealing with this and how are you dealing with it?

A lot of the info here is starting to get stale what with all the recent crack-downs on low KYC in Markets and not really sure what's happening with Monero since MyMonero is shutting down.

What are y'all's methods ~today~?

I'm not adverse to purchasing Monero after checking its recent rates and knowing its higher security. A lot more of you in the Market are accepting it than before I joined up with BB too. MyMonero alternative? Is it still a reliable coin? Do we see it living through '25?

I'll take any other tips or tricks you've been utilizing this year!

I sometimes coinbase to buy regular crypto. I vaguely remember there being a hold on a bank transfer I think? I believe I added a debit card and that changed it, but I dont have holds at all anymore with bank or debit card purchases. Cash app and uphold I have used as well.

XMR is great. I like to buy a coin with cheap transaction fees, then send it to Cake wallet and exchange it there

Do some research on Ahmia. There is a site to exchange BTC for USDT or USDT for BTC. This is my best way to get BTC without KYC.
I buy USDT with KYC normally and I trade it on this site which makes the BTC that I get intracable. You can use a wallet like Electrum to store BTC.

Another solid suggestion, thanks @MiloMikelusky !
