Has anyone dealt with verifying the source of funds before depositing crypto to Bitpanda?

Here's my situation:

I bought most of my BTC, ETH, and other cryptocurrencies back in 2016/2017. At that time, I purchased them on several different exchanges, many of which no longer exist (some have shut down or gone bankrupt). Over the years, the coins were moved between multiple exchanges and wallets.

Since around 2022, all of my coins have been stored on my Ledger hardware wallet.

Now I'd like to transfer some of them to Bitpanda, but I'm concerned that the deposit could be flagged due to source-of-funds requirements.

My questions are:

  • Is there a way to verify or pre-approve the origin of my coins before sending them to Bitpanda?
  • Does Bitpanda have a process or contact for this?
  • Has anyone successfully deposited "old" coins from 2016/2017 with a similar history?
  • What kind of documentation did you provide if the original exchanges no longer exist?

I'd rather clarify everything beforehand than send the coins and risk having the deposit delayed or frozen while trying to provide documents that may no longer be available.

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences. Thanks!
