Source of Funds at OKX for 1 BTC
After a 1 BTC deposit OKX stopped withdrawal and requested the source of funds: an active account with many operations came under review. Turnover above $1 000 000 became the position's main argument — request closed, withdrawal open.
Anonymized case. A similar situation does not mean the same outcome or timeline.
What happened
A 1 BTC deposit to an active account — OKX closed withdrawal pending proof of source of funds.
A large sum arrived on balance. Given the number of operations, the risk system requested Source of Funds: where the money came from and how it ties to the client's activity.
High turnover is no violation — it is the norm for an active trader. The task was to show this in compliance language: $1 000 000+ turnover turned from the cause of review into the defence's argument.
Initial data
Withdrawal closed pending the Source of Funds reply; trading on the account continued.
Until the source of funds is confirmed, withdrawals are not processed; the exchange gives no format hints.
Statements and operation history, proof of account turnover, documents on the source of the deposited funds.
Case workflow
Identified the trigger: a combination of a large deposit and high trading intensity on the account.
Argue with turnover: an account turning over $1 000 000+, operations systematic and explainable — the deposit fits the profile
Assembled the source-of-funds and operations package in the format OKX compliance accepts.
Passed the package to the dedicated review and closed the exchange's follow-ups.
How it ended
OKX took the package — the Source of Funds request closed, withdrawal open.
to request closed
A precise view of what caused the request: not “suspicion” but an activity profile.
Turnover above $1 000 000 framed as proof of consistency, not as a risk.
Documents built to OKX's rulebook — no extra rounds of correspondence.
A similar situation does not mean the same outcome — the result depends on case details and the platform's decision. Client data is never disclosed.
