## Quick answer
Verification tiers gate withdrawal limits and payment rails, not just identity, as of October 2026. Our board tracks 24 venues, and a Solana SPL withdrawal costs about 0.5 to 1 USDT while an ERC-20 withdrawal costs $2 to $10 in FeeEdge's 17 August 2026 survey. Read the tier table before you fund.

## Summary
Verification is usually framed as a privacy trade, but the tier you sit in decides which rails you can use, how much leaves in a day and whether fiat can leave at all. The tier table, not the privacy policy, is where the real restriction is written. A crypto-only venue with no identity check can still match a trade and still cannot pay you in fiat, because the bank on the other side has its own rules. Check the tier and the exit rail before the fee.

## Key takeaways
- A withdrawal tier changes your rails and your daily cap, not only the documents you upload
- Solana SPL withdrawals cost about 0.5 to 1 USDT, ERC-20 withdrawals $2 to $10 (FeeEdge, 17 August 2026)
- A no-KYC venue can match a trade but usually cannot pay out in fiat
- Our board ranks 24 venues as of October 2026, and tier tables are not comparable across them

## FAQ
Q: Does a higher KYC tier reduce my fees?
A: It can, indirectly. Higher tiers usually unlock cheaper rails, such as batched internal transfers or local payment schemes, and larger limits that make a single withdrawal cheaper than several small ones. The network fee itself does not change with your tier, so the saving comes from the rail and the batching, not from the verification.
Q: Why can a no-KYC exchange not pay me in fiat?
A: Because the payout runs through a bank or payment provider with its own obligations, including knowing who the beneficiary is. A venue that cannot identify its customer struggles to satisfy that. The restriction appears as an absence: no bank transfer, no card payout, no local scheme. Crypto withdrawal still works.
Q: What should I check in a tier table first?
A: The daily and monthly withdrawal caps, the list of supported networks, and whether fiat withdrawal appears at any tier. Then check what each tier requires, because a limit you cannot reach without documents you do not have is not a limit you hold. The headline number is usually the top tier, not yours.
