it's been a long time Since I posted here. but man, a lot have changed this year, ha?. Anyway, there are a couple of options to cash out your "legal" crypto. like buying gold for crypto and the sell the gold for cash, or dealing directly with banks that are crypto friendly like
bank frick in Liechtenstein or
seba bank in switzerland. But i will focus here on OTC exchanges, because in my experience they are the best to exchange
crypto to fiat. They you can do whatever, you can wire the money to a crypto friendly bank or cash out or whatever.
OTC EXCHANGES:
most of them would ask you for
KYC documents, there are a couple in east asia that don't really care about your docs, but their fees are stupid and I wouldn't really recommend them.
Anyway, here's a couple of OTC exchanges that works well if you don't mind the KYC stuff:
.
KRAKEN: Hands down, one of the best if not the best OTC desk that I've dealt with. Extremely professionals, they offer deep liquidity and transactions are settled fast and in a timely fashion.
GenesisblockHK: one of the first early miners in
Hong Kong, now they are mostly known for their OTC trades and their crypto events that they organize in east asia, very professional, and their mindset are just ...
different. They offer both cash deposits and withdrawals. you can find about their KYC process and how their trades works here:

BINANCE: Largest exchange in the world, they support most crypto and they offer the fastest settlement by far, the settlement usually happens the same day and sometimes within minutes, other than that, they are pretty much the same like any other exchange, it's
binance so there is no need to explain.
However, I still like
kraken more, they are regulated everywhere, in the US, in the UK, in Australia, in japan, you name it. Binance on the other hand though, there place of operation is still a mystery, even their ceo, said that they are just like
bitcoin, they exist everywhere, he said and I quote
“Wherever I sit, is going to be the Binance office. Wherever I need somebody, is going to be the Binance office”. I call BS, dodging a question like that in a
high risk industry, is just...
So yeah let's just say, I'm always
extra careful with binance.
cheers!
