In the last three months, Russians wishing to sell cryptocurrency and receive rubles have faced new difficulties. When exchanging through exchanges or p2p platforms, money comes to accounts in the form of many small transfers. This raises suspicions among banks, which leads to the blocking of sellers' accounts.
A client of one of the largest banks tried to withdraw 1000 USDT through a crypto exchange. However, most buyers offered to split the amount of 84,000 rubles into many small transactions. In some cases, the number of payments reached 38. Some buyers even advised to "spare the bank" and refused the deal to avoid problems.
Such fragmentation of transfers has become commonplace. Sellers of crypto assets risk losing access to their funds, as banks begin to block accounts, suspecting fraud. This creates additional difficulties for those who want to legally exchange their assets for rubles, experts say.
The situation is causing concern among cryptocurrency users. Many of them are now looking for alternative ways to exchange to avoid blockages. However, such measures are not always effective, and the risks remain high. Sellers should be careful and consider the possible consequences of splitting payments.
In the context of growing interest in cryptocurrencies and the formation of a regulatory framework for their use, such problems may negatively affect the market. Sellers need clear rules and support from financial institutions to avoid blockages and ensure the safe exchange of their assets.
