How long do you think it takes to create an account, get your KYC documents verified, get your trading and withdrawal limits raised to a million or more, transfer funds from your brokerage account, buy tokens and then re-verify when you try to transfer the tokens out of the exchange?

You'd be lucky to complete this in less than a week.

It takes about 3 days on kraken. Much less than a week.

Kraken is literally warning about delays in opening new accounts and getting verified right now.
