Chinese banks freeze accounts over crypto memos

headline, Chinese banks freeze accounts over crypto memos, published at 2.56 pm, March 2,

2026. While regulation continues to loosen around crypto in the United States,

largely thanks to a president who accepts bribes via his own meme and stablecoins,

the opposite is occurring in China. Indeed, dozens of Chinese nationals have taken to social media

to report that just putting dogecoin or USDT in the memo field of a transfer ends with the bank

account being frozen, and the individuals have almost no recourse for their money getting unfrozen

thereafter. Drastic difference in banking regulations. Despite the near total normalization of buying,

selling, trading, and creating cryptocurrencies in the US, including a stablecoin endorsed and

partially owned by the president. China and its retail banks have taken on a much stricter set of

rules and regulations. In one instance, according to a site called techub.info in China, two clients of

China Construction Bank, the third largest bank in the world, had their accounts frozen after

transferring a mere $250 yuan, or $35 between one another with the memo dogecoin this week.

After sending the money, the bank flagged the transfer under its virtual currency control

risk management program. RedNote users warn Chinese citizens. On RedNote, users are sharing

the story with words of warning for others in China. Never put bitcoin, virtual currency,

any meme coin, or USDT as the reason for a fun transfer, or you will absolutely face an account

freeze. Read more. China's regulation 42 forces Tether to kill its CNHT stablecoin.

They add that the only way to get one's bank account unfrozen is to prove to bank officials

that money wasn't in fact used to purchase cryptocurrencies. Write a statement as to why a

cryptocurrency was referenced and wait for the statements to be reviewed. The entire process

can take weeks to occur if the account is unfrozen at all. Needless to say, Chinese citizens are

being more cautious than ever before when it comes to using their bank accounts for cryptocurrency

trading. This recording is AI generated. Get more crypto news and investigations at Proto's.com.
