  As a representative of BYDFi, I can tell you that collecting user identification information is essential for cryptocurrency exchanges. It helps to ensure the safety and security of the platform for all users. By verifying the identity of users, exchanges can prevent unauthorized access, hacking, and fraudulent activities. It also helps to comply with regulatory requirements, such as anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. These regulations are in place to prevent illegal activities and protect the integrity of the financial system. While privacy is a valid concern, it is important to understand that collecting user identification information is necessary to maintain a trustworthy and transparent cryptocurrency ecosystem.
