A few days ago I heard something pretty scary—a friend’s bank card was directly frozen when buying USDT, and he was completely stunned on the spot.



Now that we’re at the year-end sprint stage, all kinds of regulatory requirements are tightening up, so at this critical moment I really don’t recommend frequently moving funds in or out. If you can wait, then wait—there's no need to take that risk.

If you really have to withdraw, make sure to spend more time vetting merchants—check basic data like transaction volume, completion rate, and registration duration. Don’t just pick one at random for convenience.

Personally, I prefer using the Alipay channel, keeping each transaction amount small and splitting it into several transfers. It’s a bit of a hassle, but at least I can sleep well at night.

All departments are rushing to meet their year-end performance targets, and risk control systems are on high alert. One careless move and you could get caught. It’s always better to be cautious—after all, the money only counts when it’s still in your account.

I’ve also heard about cards being frozen, it’s really scary. You really shouldn’t mess around at the end of the year. Transfer in small amounts and batches—even if it’s troublesome, it’s safer. Nothing is more valuable than good sleep. You really can’t be careless when choosing merchants. Things like completion rate and registration duration—none of them can be overlooked.

Having your card frozen is truly terrifying, I’ve seen it happen before. Your mindset just collapses in an instant. At the end of the year, it's better to play it safe and not mess around. --- Spreading out small amounts is definitely the way to go. Transferring a large sum in one go is a gambler's mentality. --- Sigh, this is why I’ve been on the sidelines all year, waiting for things to calm down before making a move. --- You really have to look at the data when choosing a merchant. Picking one at random is just asking for trouble, my friend. --- Risk control is like an invisible blade—you can’t defend against it. --- Let’s go with ZFB. It’s slow but steady, and after all, your own money is what matters most. --- Year-end sprint? Not for me. I choose to play it safe. --- Having your bank card frozen is basically social death. Just thinking about it feels awful. --- Always using small amounts and multiple transactions may sound troublesome, but it’s actually the smartest strategy. --- Depositing and withdrawing funds now really feels like walking a tightrope—one wrong move and you’re done for.

Having your card frozen is really scary, I’ve heard of several cases like that. The end of the year really is a high-risk period, and the system’s sensitivity is at its peak. Transferring funds in batches is a great tactic—multiple small amounts are definitely safer. A friend of mine tried to withdraw a large amount in one go last time, and it triggered the risk controls immediately. It took a long time to get the card unfrozen. So, no matter how troublesome it is, it’s still better than having your card frozen. You really need to keep a low profile these days. If it’s not urgent, just hold off for now.

Once a bank card is frozen, the account is basically useless. This is something to take seriously. The end of the year is really a high-risk period. Now, when I cash out, I spread it out—multiple small transactions are the lowest risk. My friend’s account will probably be frozen for at least half a year this time. It’s really tough. You really can’t just go for speed when choosing a merchant; you have to carefully check their completion rate and how long they've been registered. Risk control is unpredictable—it's better to play it safe. Rather than having your funds frozen when cashing out, it might be better to just hodl for now—they’re not going anywhere anyway. Batch cashouts are the way to go. I rarely do large single transactions anymore. Regulations are getting stricter, so it’s safest to just honestly spread out your transactions. To be honest, the risk of deposits and withdrawals now is scarier than price volatility. Take it slow, don’t rush—if your funds get frozen, it feels worse than an 80% drop.

If your card gets frozen, you're screwed. Gotta be really careful this time. When risk control mechanisms get adjusted at the end of the year, even slightly larger transfers can easily get flagged. --- I also split transfers into small batches. It's a hassle but gives me peace of mind. Otherwise, if you transfer a large amount all at once, you won't be able to sleep at night. --- Honestly, you should keep a low profile at the end of the year. Frequent deposits and withdrawals are just asking for trouble. A friend of mine got his account frozen for three months because of this. --- ZFB is indeed relatively stable, but the key is to control the amount. Don't rush it—just do multiple small transactions slowly. --- It's really not the time to take risks right now. Wait until things calm down. If one card gets frozen, it can cause a lot of problems. --- Remember, never skip the merchant screening step. If the completion rate is low, just avoid it. It's really not a small matter. --- Who dares to withdraw a large amount at the end of the year? The risk is way too high. Just play by the rules and stay safe. --- Now I only withdraw once a week at most, and each time it's a small amount. I'd rather deal with the hassle than get my account frozen.

Oh my, having your bank card frozen is truly terrifying, especially at the end of the year—you really can’t afford to be careless right now. When choosing a merchant, don’t just go for speed. You still need to pay attention to details like completion rate and registration duration. Transferring money in batches is definitely a reliable trick. It’s tedious, but it gives you peace of mind. Risk control has become extremely sensitive now—one wrong step and you’re in trouble.

Having your card frozen is really brutal, I know people who've experienced it, it's awful. Things are definitely tense toward the end of the year, better not to mess around. --- I'm also using the method of transferring funds in batches, it just takes a bit more effort, but it's better than being constantly on edge. --- Carefully selecting merchants is really important, you can't just pick anyone, you have to check the data thoroughly. --- Withdrawing funds at this time is like gambling, better to just hold onto your coins honestly. --- Getting your card frozen once is enough, I'd rather wait than go through that again. --- I totally believe the risk control is maxed out, every department is checking at the end of the year, so let's not draw unnecessary attention. --- The Alipay channel is a bit more stable, even though it's slow, it gives peace of mind and it's worth it. --- Money only counts when it's in your account; once the bank steps in, it's all gone. --- What does my friend's experience show? You really have to be cautious when choosing a withdrawal method. --- There's really no need for frequent operations, we're not in a rush.

Having your card frozen is really tough, things are really tight at the end of the year. I'm also using the split transfer method, going slow is better than getting busted quickly. Let's use Alipay, don't rush for speed. This round of regulation is no joke, all my friends are holding back. You really need to be careful when choosing merchants, price isn't the only thing to look at. It's safer to keep a low profile around this time of year.
