Recently, a well-known figure in the crypto world encountered a dilemma when attempting to convert digital assets into fiat currency, resulting in 300,000 yuan of funds being frozen. This incident has sparked widespread discussion within the industry regarding the risks of cashing out crypto assets.

Experts point out that the issues of account freezing faced when exchanging crypto assets for fiat currency mainly fall into two categories:

First, the bank's risk control system may become alert to sudden large fund inflows. If an account that usually has low transaction frequency and amounts suddenly receives a large sum of money, it is likely to trigger the bank's automatic risk control mechanism. This situation is usually not complicated; after the account holder personally visits the bank branch to explain the situation, they can mostly unfreeze the account smoothly.

However, the situation becomes more complicated when it involves suspicious funds. Sometimes, whether intentionally or unintentionally, intermediaries may transfer funds of unclear origin into user accounts. If these funds are determined by judicial authorities to be related to a case, it could not only lead to the freezing of the account but also potentially involve the account holder in more serious legal disputes. In the worst-case scenario, users may need to compensate for losses and even face the risk of being prosecuted as accomplices to fraud.

In light of this, industry insiders suggest that it is crucial to choose counterparties with a good reputation and a long operating history. These established intermediaries often have stricter capital review mechanisms, which can reduce risks to some extent.

In addition, some users have started to pay attention to solutions for overseas payment cards. For example, specific bank cards issued in Hong Kong can conveniently withdraw RMB cash from ATMs in the mainland, and also support online consumption and transfers to mainland bank cards. This provides a possible alternative for users who wish to avoid risks.

Regardless, in the current regulatory environment, the compliant monetization of Crypto Assets still faces numerous challenges. Participants need to exercise extra caution, fully understand the relevant risks, and strictly adhere to laws and regulations to ensure that their rights and interests are not infringed.
