Can cryptocurrencies be frozen on a blockchain?

Frozen funds typically mean access to such funds has been restricted or temporarily halted.

Several factors, such as technological errors, security precautions, disagreements, investigations and regulatory compliance, can lead to such circumstances. So, can a crypto exchange freeze your account?

If exchanges or financial institutions suspect fraudulent activity or money laundering related to the account, they may freeze funds. Furthermore, freezing may occur as a preventive measure in reaction to possible security lapses or unwanted access attempts.

Funds may also be frozen during disagreements or ongoing investigations until the issue is resolved, guaranteeing a just outcome for all parties concerned. Temporary freezes resulting from technical problems with the blockchain or exchange infrastructure can also affect the availability of funds. For instance, in 2022, Binance temporarily suspended withdrawals of Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens due to the Merge. Read More
