    KYC is necessary for participating in ICOs because it helps to prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities. By verifying the identity of investors, ICO organizers can ensure that they are complying with regulatory requirements and protecting the interests of their investors. Additionally, KYC helps to establish trust and credibility in the cryptocurrency market, which is essential for the long-term growth and adoption of ICOs.

    Participating in ICOs without KYC can be risky for both investors and ICO organizers. Without proper identity verification, it becomes easier for scammers to create fake accounts and manipulate the market. KYC helps to mitigate these risks by ensuring that only legitimate investors can participate in ICOs. It also provides a level of transparency and accountability, which is crucial for the success and sustainability of the ICO ecosystem.
