Reviving this as looking for similar solutions.
There are several CEXs still available that don't have KYC, and have decent withdrawl limits. Bybit is an example. FTX is good with just a phone number, no ID, but limited to 2000usd withdrawls. Plenty more examples still exist, at least today anyway. However, I am not sure how long these are going to last.
There are a number of excellent DEX's becoming available with advanced features such as leverage trading, and limit orders. Raydium and Sabre are good, both on Solana. DYDX is another option. These are all anonymous, and have leverage if you that's something you're after.
If you need to use a
CEX anonymously that requires KYC then the next best bet seems to be setting up an IBC in a
privacy focused jurisdiction, and using nominee directors, and having that company owned by a foundation in
Seychelles, of which the foundation is set up using a nominee. Just bear in mind that to open a corporate account for FTX they will want passport copies of all directors and beneficial owners - and they want proof of bank statement to open the account.
Binance is similar, but seem to not require the bank statement.
One problem I see here is if you open an exchange account with an
offshore company with nominee directors, then the account will be controlled by these nominee directors and they could run away with your funds. Only way to get around this is to add yourself to the account which would require you to KYC yourself, and then bingo you are linked to everything.
Other solutions include moving to Dubai. Or using fake docs.. but that last one seems overly risky
