Honestly, the OTC trading ecosystem is quietly reshuffling. It's not a blunt stop, but a gradual tightening—by the time you realize it, many of the original channels are already blocked.

How to survive? There’s really only one way: find those truly reliable fixed merchants with long-term operational plans.

Many people see complicated processes and strict reviews and start to feel annoyed or slow, wishing to switch to another immediately. But I have to be honest: those merchants who can take root and survive in this industry usually have the strictest risk controls. Conversely, those that do everything without questions, with instant transfers and instant coin releases? They look comfortable, but they are the most prone to issues. Once the capital chain breaks, no one in the system can escape.

Don’t interpret "more requirements" as "lack of flexibility." On the contrary—these merchants are not short of customers; what they truly lack are long-term partners willing to cooperate within standardized processes.

I’ve seen too many impatient people say: "I’m about to be liquidated, I don’t have time for this," or "Why can others take shortcuts and I can’t?" In essence, they’re using emotion to harden against risk.

But when your account really gets frozen, you’ll realize: those few minutes saved are worthless.

The crypto world is not short of smart people. The easiest to crash are always those who think they’re clever and are still looking for shortcuts.

Remember this: Risk control is not an unnecessary cost; it’s a bottom line. Security is not an option; it’s a prerequisite for survival.
