This month, Sec sued Binance, causing a lot of commotion, and even directly crashing BTC. The incident at OKX has received little attention.
OKX's ??th secret rule change, completely letting go#
Talking about the little thing of OKX arbitrarily changing rules and restricting user withdrawals
Following the last time, it seems that OKX is becoming more and more unrestrained. Recently, the withdrawal limit was "secretly" modified again:
KYC1 users, 5000 U/permanent -> 1000 U/permanent
There was no announcement or explanation, and there was no need to search through the user agreement.
The specific time of this modification can only be analyzed from the comments of netizens and the marketing tweets of their unprofessional "official customer service":
The modification was made no later than 9:37 AM (UTC) on June 30th.

Japanese and Iranian Users Victimized#
Before this change, OKX actually did something advanced:
- Expelling Japanese and Iranian users
Without any announcement or notification, users whose KYC residency is Japan or Iran are unable to withdraw any assets.
This matter was directly reported by Yahoo! News:

Many concerned Japanese users have speculated that the Financial Services Agency has started to exert pressure. However, it is understood that OKX is still secretly providing services to Japanese users. Let's see if the Financial Services Agency will cause trouble for OKX.
I think this is just OKX's usual harvesting method. The leeks are still tender.
