How old do I need to be to trade on BTSE?
To maintain a secure and legally compliant trading environment, all individual users must be at least 18 years of age to register an account and access BTSE’s suite of services.
Why is there an age requirement?
BTSE operates in strict adherence to international financial regulations, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. Legal adulthood is a global standard for entering into financial contracts. By enforcing this age limit, we ensure that all participants have the legal capacity to manage the risks associated with cryptocurrency trading, futures, and other advanced financial products.
How is my age verified?
Your age is verified during our automated Identity Verification (KYC) process. To get started, you will need to complete Level 1 Primary Verification, which involves:
Government-Issued ID: Uploading a clear photo of a valid passport, driver’s license, or national ID card.
Data Matching: Our system automatically extracts your date of birth from your ID to confirm you meet the 18+ requirement.
Video Selfie: A quick liveness check to ensure the person applying matches the identity document provided.
