#BinanceBlockchainWeek Regulators knocking on the door again? Don’t panic, it really doesn’t concern you much



In the past few days, the central bank has spoken out again, saying it will continue to crack down on illegal financial activities involving virtual currencies. Many people got nervous when they saw this, thinking another big purge was coming.

But if you look at it calmly, what are they really targeting this time?
Cross-border currency exchange, underground banks, money laundering through “point running”—those gray channels that convert large amounts of RMB into USDT and move it out of the country.

To put it plainly: the government is targeting large-scale capital outflow channels, not the small chips in your hand.

Retail investors can keep playing as usual:
- Depositing a few hundred or a few thousand bucks worth of U for spot or futures trading on some exchange—no one cares enough to bother you
- OTC swapping small amounts of U, anything under tens of thousands gets credited instantly, just as smooth as ever
- The real targets are those exchanging hundreds of thousands or even millions for U in one go, or those using Tether’s official channels or underground banks

The logic is simple—block the big flows, let the small ones go.
They’re tightening the “bleeding points” for RMB outflows, but they’re not planning on confiscating retail investors’ toys.

So go ahead and buy the dips, take profits when you need to. Regulators don’t have time to fuss over your pocket change. Stay rational, manage your positions, and most importantly, have fun.

Haha, I've heard the "block the big, let the small go" theory plenty of times—did anyone who really believed it make money? People keep saying no one cares about retail investors, but exchanges are still getting investigated, accounts are still getting frozen. I don't think it's that simple. The central bank is taking it seriously this time. Feels like the tide has turned again—it’s better to keep a low profile. Smooth for amounts under tens of thousands? Who really believes that? My friend tried to swap USDT this week and got stuck for three days. "Block the big, let the small go" is the ideal, but when exchanges and wallets are both under scrutiny, retail investors can't escape either, man. Sounds easy, but honestly, no one feels secure. Everyone’s just betting that regulators won’t actually crack down hard. That logic has huge holes. If a real crackdown comes, you think retail investors can get out? "Buy the dip, buy the dip"—who the hell dares to go all-in now? The risk is just too damn high.

Here they go hyping up regulatory news again. Honestly, they just want to make us panic so we sell low and they can buy in cheap.

I've already figured out the logic of blocking the big and letting the small go. Retail investors like us should just play it safe and not get scared by all that alarmist talk. The central bank's target has never been us small investors, so don't worry.

I believe in the logic of blocking the big and letting the small go, but I'm just worried there might be another sudden move... However, it does seem like retail investors don't have much to fear, so I'll keep accumulating coins.

yo, so they're finally admitting they only care about the big fish moving millions around? transaction patterns don't lie though—most of this "crackdown" is just theater to appease regulators. the real flow always finds another path anyway.

The logic of blocking the big and letting the small go is nothing new; the key is still who holds more chips—whoever does has more say. Retail investors should just keep playing the way they always have; after all, we’re not the ones being targeted anyway.

Hey, I've heard the saying "block the big, let the small go" quite a few times, but the key still lies in execution. Small retail investors really don't have much to worry about, but I think there might be deeper considerations behind the central bank speaking out this time—it might not be that simple.
