I've seen plenty of posts about moving BTC to FIAT but most are worried about tax and KYC. I'm just looking for the most reliable/friction-less way to to do.
I was thinking it looks something like this: From wallet > Kraken (do I need Pro or is normal good enough) and then to one of the major banks (RBC/BMO/TD/ETC). I have seen talk about people sending to Wise, but then some say Kraken will not accept it because Wise isn't a real bank, etc.
Let's say for the sake of argument, 2 BTC - I assume splitting is better than one bit shot to avoid issues/losing anything due to issues?
Are there any discussions I should have with the bank and Kraken before transferring larger amounts to make sure it goes smoothly? I've seen the term recovery team mentioned here in some posts however not familiar with who/where they are and what they do.
