#数字资产市场动态 💭 How can offline C2C cash transactions be compliant?

Today someone wanted to do a face-to-face coin-to-coin transaction with me. I originally thought that placing an order on a major exchange and communicating face-to-face offline could clarify risk control and fund tracing. As a result, the other party really showed up with a stack of cash!

My approach was to have him deposit the cash into a bank account first to ensure the fund flow is clear, then complete the transaction through official channels. This way, I can verify the source of funds and also meet basic anti-money laundering requirements.

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts—how should cash transactions be handled to be reliable? Has anyone encountered similar situations?

Your process is indeed solid. The step of depositing into a bank card is essential; otherwise, if something really happens, it would be hard to explain. I’ve also encountered situations before where someone wanted to directly upload coins after cash face-to-face transactions, but I absolutely refused. The records on the exchange side are the real safeguard.

Bro, your move is correct. Cash must go through a bank card, otherwise it's really easy to get targeted. I've used this trick too. Although it's a bit troublesome, it's reassuring. Your approach has already avoided a big pitfall. Many people fall into trouble right at the point of directly handling cash.

Wow, your operation is so smooth, directly passing on the cash method, truly a wise move. I also encountered this before, and I rejected it at the time. Looking back now, the choice was correct. Using bank transfers is indeed the only way to break through, at least the process is clear, and everything can be explained.

Your operation is solid, but to be honest, cash transactions are a big trap. I'd rather wait longer than get involved. Now, we really need to stay alert; the crypto circle is already under heavy surveillance.

cash walk-ins are basically a security theater masterclass lol. you did the bare minimum right, but let's be real—that "fund tracing" you're banking on? yeah, good luck proving anything if regulators start asking questions later.

Haha, the other party really brought cash, hilarious. There are still such hardcore players these days. Kudos to your operation; going through the bank card makes it much cleaner, with transparent processes and less risk. But to be honest, I still prefer transactions directly through the exchange. I'm really a bit wary of the offline cash method.

Your operation essentially shifts the risk from off-chain to on-chain. While the data flow becomes clearer, what about the costs? Bank deposits, exchange withdrawals—each step involves transaction fees and hidden costs. Have you calculated the efficiency loss? How many basis points does this process cost more compared to direct cash transactions?
