Why do some exchanges freeze withdrawals?

Exchanges may freeze withdrawals for several reasons: compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) checks, suspicious account activity, liquidity shortages, or technical issues. In some cases, sudden freezes occur during hacks or when regulators intervene. While temporary freezes for verification are normal, repeated or unexplained restrictions are red flags. Scam exchanges often use withdrawal freezes as excuses to trap user funds. Traders should always test small withdrawals first and avoid storing large amounts on exchanges. Choosing regulated platforms with a history of transparent communication minimizes the risk of withdrawal problems.
