<p>After buying crypto with fiat on a KYC exchange, instead of just moving the crypto to a wallet, I understand that I should get more anonymity from tracking by putting the coin through coinjoin or whirlpool. But it would actually be more economical for me to buy LTC on the exchange and send it to an online exchange like Changelly where I could exchange the LTC for BTC and then send it on to my wallet. (More economical because my exchange charges much more to withdraw BTC than for LTC.)
But I wonder if the swap may give anonymity to the BTC. If that is so, then I wouldn't have to go through the coinjoin process, which seems complicated to me.
Does anyone know if non &quot;know your customer&quot; exchanges provide as good anonymity to crypto as coinjoins do?</p>

Which offers more privacy, coinjoin-whirlpool or non-KYC online exchanges?

Does anyone know if non "know your customer" exchanges provide as good anonymity to crypto as coinjoins do?
