Could you elaborate on the necessity of Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance for cryptocurrency wallets? In the context of financial regulations and consumer protection, is it essential for crypto wallet providers to verify the identity of their users? Does this help prevent illicit activities such as money laundering or fraud? And, if so, what are the potential implications for wallet users if KYC procedures are not adequately implemented? Is there a balance that needs to be struck between privacy and security in this regard?

The majority of crypto wallets operate in a non-custodial manner. This signifies that the wallet providers do not possess the users' private keys.

The lack of KYC compliance in crypto wallets ensures that users' privacy and anonymity are preserved.
