When dealing with significant amounts of cryptocurrency, especially when converting it to cash, financial institutions are likely to scrutinize the source of the funds, particularly if the amounts are substantial, such as $111 million. For instance, regularly converting USDT (Tether) to fiat currency and accumulating around $8 million without making any withdrawals could prompt banks to reach out. They might offer exclusive services like wealth management, specialized insurance, or VIP account perks.
However, selling USDT through different platforms can pose certain risks, especially if the transactions involve illegitimate funds. If you unknowingly deal with smaller sums of third-tier illicit money, your account could be temporarily frozen for a few days. Larger amounts may result in a freeze lasting several months. In more severe cases, like second-tier black money, your assets could be frozen for up to six months or even seized entirely. Additionally, trading USDT at abnormal rates, such as selling at a higher price than the market standard, can raise suspicion. For instance, if you sell at 8.1 yuan when the market rate is 7.3 yuan, it could lead to concerns about money laundering activities.
To avoid legal complications, it’s essential to refrain from trading USDT at inflated prices or through unfamiliar merchants and platforms. Engaging with reputable partners who can offer cash upfront in exchange for your USDT is a safer route. Ensuring that your counterparties have held funds in their accounts for at least three days and only using personal-use accounts can significantly reduce the likelihood of any account freezes or regulatory issues.
