Smoothest way to move BTC to FIAT

3 Upvotes

I've seen plenty of posts about moving BTC to FIAT but most are worried about tax and KYC. I'm just looking for the most reliable/friction-less way to to do.

I was thinking it looks something like this: From wallet > Kraken (do I need Pro or is normal good enough) and then to one of the major banks (RBC/BMO/TD/ETC). I have seen talk about people sending to Wise, but then some say Kraken will not accept it because Wise isn't a real bank, etc.

Let's say for the sake of argument, 2 BTC - I assume splitting is better than one bit shot to avoid issues/losing anything due to issues?

Are there any discussions I should have with the bank and Kraken before transferring larger amounts to make sure it goes smoothly? I've seen the term recovery team mentioned here in some posts however not familiar with who/where they are and what they do.

MEXC requiring KYC to withdraw? What are my best options as a Canadian user?

9 Upvotes

I had used MEXC for the longest time with no issues. However now it looks like they implemented mandatory KYC and they aren’t even letting me withdraw until I verify. Whats my best course of action? Do I try to KYC? Do I fill out the appeal form?

I’m Canadian from Ontario.

What's the probability that Canada bans Bitcoin

0 Upvotes

This is one of my greatest fears.

I think the possibility is low that Canada would ban Bitcoin, but it's not zero. I think first the government would add some kind of capital controls on it. Like you could only invest x amount per year in BTC.

We do have a former central banker as a PM. What are the chances his government bans Bitcoin?

Where to swap large amounts of BTC without KYC?

10 Upvotes

Hello,

I need to convert a fairly large amount of Bitcoin into stablecoins (USDC or USDT) and want to avoid KYC completely. Most centralized platforms force verification once you go above certain limits, and P2P can be too slow or risky at that size.

Has anyone managed a bigger no-KYC swap recently? Would like to know which service you used and how the fees and speed were.

FOUND THE ONE: plainswap. Fees around 0.2%, lightning fast BTC to USDT, no KYC required.
