The Freezing of Binance Accounts: An Urgent Need for Risk Management and Market Regulation

Recently, news of Binance freezing user accounts rapidly spread on Twitter, with many users stating they had been impacted. According to WikiBIT‘s investigation, an Australian user named ’illiquidity providooor‘ tweeted at 7:56 pm last night that his Binance account had been frozen. The tweet gained 1.5M engagements and 305 replies. Later, another Twitter user called ’BitRun tweeted at 11:52 pm last night that Binance had frozen their customers' accounts for over a month without any explanation. The amount involved reached up to 180,000 U$. The tweet has already gained 91.8K engagements in a short period of time, with even more comments under it showing the multitude of victims.

Many Binance users don‘t know why their accounts were unexpectedly frozen, and Binance has not responded positively. Were the users wrong, or was it Binance’s fault？ However, before February 24th, many users had already complained on Twitter about their Binance accounts being frozen without reason. A Twitter user called ‘cici’ tweeted on February 20th that his account was frozen, but Binance did not respond at all. The user even received threats to return the USDT by transferring it to a separate party. Failure to do so would lead to permanent account freezing. How is this any different from fraud？

Many users plan to sue Binance as their trust in Binance is lost. After all, Binance did not respond positively to this incident, and it is not surprising that users have lost faith in Binance. As this incident has fermented, Binance has finally given a response. Binance tweeted that they had found some Australian users misclassified as 'wholesale investors' on Binance. According to the regulations in Australia, Binance had to notify these users and immediately close any derivative positions they had. Binance also said they contacted the affected users and would make compensation. Although Binance's response to this incident is yet to be given a final evaluation, it is undoubtedly a profound lesson for the cryptocurrency market and investors.

The recent freeze of Binance accounts has made many people question the trustworthiness of such services.
