Withdrawal limits for each KYC level will also change on Dec. 20, with non-KYC users able to withdraw a maximum of 20,000 USDT per day and 100,000 USDT per month.

Crypto deposits and trading appear to be unaffected, though the exchange notes that it "may further expand KYC requirements in the near future."
