Missed the 14-day deadline, lost your funds: how crypto exchanges tightened AML checks
The process of recovering frozen funds on crypto exchanges is becoming more complex, and in many cases, less successful. What is changing is not only how exchanges detect risk, but how quickly users are expected to respond. Across the industry, platforms such as Coinbase, Kraken and Bybit are tightening compliance procedures in response to regulatory developments, including MiCA. Data and risk analysis tools are playing a larger role in these decisions. Systems now evaluate not just direct activity, but also indirect exposure to flagged wallets or transactions. According to Chainalysis, this broader approach increases detection rates but also expands the number of users affected by restrictions. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of stricter deadlines. Users typically have between two and four weeks to complete verification requests. Missing that window can lead to prolonged restrictions or escalated reviews involving multiple internal teams. Industry insiders note that once a case is escalated, it may involve legal and regulatory considerations, making resolution far less predictable. This evolving landscape is creating a new dynamic: compliance is no longer just a requirement, but a race against time. Users who fail to respond quickly enough are finding that even full cooperation at a later stage does not guarantee access to their funds. #BTC #Ethereum
