The new collaboration comes a few weeks after Hidden Road halted crypto services facilitated by the Bybit crypto exchange in late May. According to online reports, the restriction was triggered by conflicts in Know Your Customer (KYC) verification procedures and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) processes on Hidden Road and Bybit.


Headquartered in Dubai, Bybit exchange is known in the cryptocurrency community for its relatively light KYC policies. In early May, Bybit introduced mandatory KYC for its users, but it only affected those wanting to withdraw more than 20,000 USDT per day.
