CRYPTO 4 LIGHT

Remember when HTX exchange had (and still has) certain regulatory issues? There have been cases where people transferred funds from HTX to Bybit and had their Bybit accounts frozen. Today, I witnessed an absolutely crazy situation with one of my own wallets. I still had a small amount of Dogelon Mars (ELON) on HTX, an ERC-20 token. I withdrew it to my own wallet via the ERC-20 network. My balance on HTX was now zero, so I deleted the app. Some time later, I opened my 1inch wallet app and saw a notification saying that my address had been blocked. This is insane. I deleted and reinstalled 1inch, but when I entered my seed phrase, the wallet wouldn’t even let me access my own wallet. Meanwhile, the exact same seed phrase works perfectly fine in Trust Wallet, MetaMask, and OKX Wallet. I can access my wallet and see all my funds without any issues. According to the information on 1inch’s website, it appears they work with a regulatory compliance provider that flags certain wallets as high-risk, potentially due to transactions involving HTX. And apparently, the 1inch app can prevent you from accessing your own wallet based on such a risk assessment. This is absolutely wild. Your seed phrase is yours, your wallet is yours, and your funds are on the blockchain. Yet a wallet app can deny you access to your own wallet interface because of a transaction history it considers suspicious. And this is exactly why I believe things will only get worse as regulatory control expands into the crypto industry. People wanted decentralization. Instead, we may end up with digital control.
