I trade on Kucoin for years without KYC. There is a daily withdraw limit, but it’s so high that I were never close to that limit. I think you gave a good advice, there are good decentralized exchanges, my favorites are waves dex and bancor. I use https://dex.ag/ to compare prices among all dex-es.
Who wishes to skip kyc part can do that easily, many exchanges that don’t ask for verifications if you don’t trade with huge amounts, even more dex-es. Easy search on google will show many of them. Each of them has some advantages, the best is to try a couple of them and find the one that suits you and use that one.
