Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Binance co-founder Yi He warned users to avoid depositing funds whose origins are hard to explain, listing common examples such as discounted USDT bought from friends, tokens sent on-chain by relatives, money from business dealings in Myanmar, payments collected in Cambodia, and friends' funds that merely passed through an account. The advisory, posted on X, signals that the exchange is tightening scrutiny of deposit sources as part of its anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer controls. The warning matters because Binance can freeze or restrict withdrawals on funds tied to opaque or tainted sources, leaving users to prove the money's provenance. It also reflects broader pressure on offshore exchanges to document the trail behind every deposit. What to watch next is whether Binance formalizes the guidance into policy, such as stricter source-of-funds checks or deposit limits for certain regions, and whether other exchanges follow with similar warnings.
