What to Do After Triggering T+N Restrictions?
What is T+N?
The T+N (Buy Crypto Security Protection) feature means that when you Buy Crypto through C2C on the platform, the platform's risk control system will comprehensively assess your trading risk and impose N-day restrictions on withdrawals and C2C selling for the equivalent assets of that transaction, but this feature does not affect your other transactions and financial services on the platform.
The T+N (Buy Crypto Security Protection) feature can effectively avoid financial losses to both parties caused by the inflow of risky funds, safeguarding the security of user assets on the platform. The implementation of restrictions exceeding 24 hours or even longer for some users is based on the platform's refined risk control operations settings, to maximize deterrence against risky funds entering the platform, reduce the risk of bank account freezes, and minimize user fund risks.
How to Identify T+N Orders?
From the start of Buy Crypto to the completion of the order, there will be three reminders on the page. The first is when placing the order, the second is when the order is generated pending payment, and the third is when waiting for seller confirmation. If you do not wish to proceed with a locked Buy Crypto order, you can choose to cancel that transaction. The platform's risk control system will comprehensively assess your trading behavior and impose 1-day, 3-day, or 7-day restrictions on selling and withdrawals (please refer to the actual page display for specifics).
Note: If there is no prompt indicating T+N security protection has been triggered, you can immediately sell or withdraw
What to Do If T+N Security Protection Is Triggered?
T+N rules are calculated in real-time by the platform's risk control system, making it impossible to predict in advance whether you will be subject to T+N restrictions. Therefore, please refer to the actual order placement information prompts. If you are subject to T+N, there is no need to worry, because T+N only restricts the withdrawal and selling of that specific transaction, and will have no impact on your other transactions or account.
If you have triggered T+N security protection, for your trading safety, we recommend that you wait patiently for N days, after which the system will automatically lift the restrictions. You can also appeal for orders where you triggered T+3 or T+7 security protection: Assets page > Locked Assets module > C2C Orders > Appeal. **T+1 orders cannot be appealed for early release, **please wait patiently for the system to automatically lift the restrictions.
How to View When a Buy Crypto Order Will Automatically Unlock?
If you have not completed the transaction, you can view the restriction period on the pop-up page before order generation and on the pending payment page after order generation. Please carefully verify before placing your order.
If the order has been completed, you can view the specific unlock time for that order on the order details page. The platform recommends that you wait patiently; when the unlock time is reached, the system will automatically unlock.

Five, Strategy Trading Series Course—On-Chain Treasury
Preface: We often have this hypothesis: there are many digital assets with significant gains in bull markets. If we can continuously capture assets with large increases, for example catching one asset that doubles each month, after one year your assets would become 2 to the power of 12, i.e., 4096 times, which is very impressive. Of course, this is also almost impossible to achieve, because it's difficult for us to continuously catch big gainers. This is also a problem many users encounter: in bull markets, although
