Many global no-KYC exchanges restrict US users. These platforms are confirmed accessible to American traders in 2026 without mandatory identity verification. Finding no-KYC crypto access in the USA is challenging but possible. DEXs like Uniswap have no jurisdictional restrictions. P2P platforms like Bisq and RoboSats are open to US users. TradeOgre allowed US users but was shut down in early 2026.
The US regulatory landscape for crypto tightened significantly in 2026. The IRS now requires all US-based centralized exchange services to issue Form 1099-DA and collect KYC. This effectively eliminates no-KYC options at regulated US exchanges. However, DEXs remain accessible — Uniswap operates globally through smart contracts and cannot be geographically restricted at the protocol level. P2P platforms like Bisq are peer-to-peer networks with no central operator to enforce KYC. Bitcoin ATMs are widely available across the USA with most allowing small cash purchases under $1,000 without identity verification. US traders must balance privacy preferences with IRS reporting obligations — no-KYC acquisition does not eliminate tax liability.
