small detail, centralised exchanges know how much monero went through them. for that particular account. If you KYC’d there, they know how much monero YOU bought or sold on their platform

isn’t it better to use Decentralized exchanges or instant exchange services for Monero transactions in this case?

sorry for the late reply but yes, in a decentralised exchange you are revealing your info to an other peer, rather than to a centralised exchange (or subphoneable entity), that makes a huge difference

so, on Centralized exchange you reveal nothing or what? in my opinion, that’s use to better instant exchanges, then. There is like, you swap to a liquidity provider, no registration and KYC, and transactions might be not traceable

ce what about centralized ones? I mean, you reveal a lot of info to the exchange team, which can be disclosed to any authorities. It’s better to use instant exchange services
