Big players withdraw money easily, while ordinary people get stuck? Let's talk about the pitfalls and insights I've experienced over the years.

To be honest, everyone in the cryptocurrency circle has encountered this. Look at those big players; withdrawing hundreds of thousands or millions is like drinking water, nothing happens. But we ordinary retail investors, withdrawing a few thousand or tens of thousands, get stuck, frozen, or even have to undergo investigations, which is really absurd.

Actually, there are a lot of tricks here. Over the years of trial and error, I've summarized a few truths to share with you, so you don't get stuck for no reason.

1. Let’s talk about identity verification first.

Big players submit all identity documents from start to finish, including KYC and AML. Not only do they provide ID cards, but also facial recognition, and even salary statements and proof of fund sources, treating it like a lawsuit. When the platform sees that your materials are complete, they feel assured, and withdrawals go smoothly.

What about us? When it seems troublesome, we take the simplest route for verification, sometimes even using anonymous accounts to play. When withdrawals come, risk control will focus on you, suspecting your funds are of unclear origin.

2. Different channels have completely different risk controls.

Rich people don’t withdraw money through ordinary channels, but through specialized institutional channels or OTC bulk trades. Those routes are custom-designed for large amounts, with stable processes and risk control personnel monitoring, making it safe and smooth.

We ordinary people can only use the retail withdrawal channels. This thing is designed for small and frequent amounts. Even if you withdraw 50,000 or 100,000, as long as the flow doesn’t match, you’ll be stopped immediately and wait to be checked.

3. The habits of fund operations determine the attitude of risk control.

Big players withdraw funds in installments, spreading out the time, and may even mix in some small purchases, making it look very normal and natural.

Retail accounts usually lie dormant for a while, suddenly receiving a large sum of money, withdrawing it all the next day, or making a series of deposits and withdrawals in one day. When the system sees this, it will definitely label you as high risk.

4. Small tips to avoid pitfalls when withdrawing, honestly telling you.

Don’t be lazy with identity verification; provide as many materials as possible, such as proof of address and salary statements.

For large withdrawals, do it in several installments; don’t think about withdrawing everything at once, make it look as natural as possible.

Try to operate during daytime working hours, don’t always choose midnight or holidays, as risk control is particularly tight during those times.

Don’t let your account lie dormant; don’t go a few months without activity. Buy some coins, transfer some funds, and keep it active.

If it exceeds a large amount, don’t mess around; find an institutional channel through the exchange. Although it may be a bit troublesome, it’s safer.

Keep all transaction records, screenshots of flows, etc., so you can refer to them if questioned one day.

In the end, this is not about the platform targeting you, but about the increasingly strict regulations. You must comply to play smoothly. If we don't understand the rules, we get stuck and banned. Who can withstand that?

I used to get stuck too. Later, I summarized some experiences, followed the regular process, adjusted my operating habits, and withdrawals became much smoother. I hope this can help you, don't repeat my mistakes.
