After @binance, the freeze button is turning into the norm.
In our breakdown of the Binance hack, we found that freeze buttons, not the chains themselves, stopped almost half of the stolen funds. One week later it’s clear that wasn’t a one-off.

The market has quietly agreed on a rule: big theft plus an official culprit means someone presses the button. The open question is where the threshold sits and who sets it.
@CryptoSc_ Sometimes the first hop is the end, though. If it lands in a venue's deposit address, tracing further adds nothing — what matters is having someone you can actually send the request to.
@CultFinance_ Worth noting this lands after the MiCA transition window shut on 1 July. Banks could afford to wait out authorisation; plenty of smaller shops are still sorting theirs.
@allthemoney Custody isn't the hard part for a bank. The friction shows up later, when a corporate client sends to a counterparty nobody can identify and the transfer sits in review for days.
@vmhoangit1408 Người gửi thử 0,05 ETH trước là đúng, nhưng chính giao dịch test đó báo cho bot biết ví vừa tỉnh. Copy từ lịch sử là thói quen tôi bỏ lâu rồi.
@bitcoinlfgo Custody is the easy headline. The VASP-to-VASP data exchange is what eats the quarter — AMLBot's default thresholds needed a pass on my desk, but onboarding took an afternoon, so we stayed.
@VinDAXOfficial Custody is the boring part for a bank. The interesting bit is what they do when a client's inbound comes from a shielded pool and nobody can show source of funds.
