OKX CEO Warns: Tornado Cash Users Risk Immediate Account Liquidation!

Key Points:

• Tornado Cash users will face swift account liquidation, emphasizing OKX’s stringent compliance measures.
• OKX has banned accounts for those interacting with sanctioned entities, ensuring a secure trading environment.
• The CEO reassures that ordinary users are unlikely to be impacted, focusing on regulatory adherence and safety.

OKX CEO (Star Xu) sternly warned that found in direct financial interactions with the now-sanctioned cryptocurrency mixer Tornado Cash users will promptly lead to account liquidation.

The clear warning comes when OKX, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, is cranking up its compliance measures amid global regulatory pressures.

No Accounts for Garantex or Tornado Cash Users!

The OKX CEO clarified that a person under sanction could not open an account on the OKX platform. However, strict protocols are in place for those who succeed in their registration. If a user deposits funds from known entities under sanction—like Garantex or Tornado Cash—or attempts to withdraw funds to these entities, they automatically trigger OKX’s compliance risk controls. This will mean the instant closure of their account, with the loss of all assets on the platform.

Star Xu eased the general public’s concern by saying that these sanctions are not a problem for regular users. Most people, he said, never interact with a sanctioned entity like Tornado Cash. In other words, these compliance measures secure the platform from ill-meaning uses and thus protect the interest of its legitimate users.
