Do not use it for any exchanges. They will withhold your funds without any reason. Hi everyone,I am writing this post to warn the entire crypto community about ChangeNOW (changenow.io). If you value your hard-earned money and data privacy, please stay far away from this platform. They are running what appears to be a textbook selective scam under the guise of an "infinite compliance review."Here is the exact timeline and breakdown of my ongoing nightmare with them:The Transaction: I received my hard-earned work remuneration in USDC (a fully traceable, transparent stablecoin). Due to privacy reasons, I decided to use ChangeNOW to swap my USDC into Monero (XMR).The Freeze: Immediately after they received my USDC, their automated system flagged the transaction and held my funds hostaged. It has now been over 20days (approaching 18 days total dispute time) with absolutely no resolution.Full Cooperation: They requested verification, and I complied. I provided them with the complete, unredacted chat logs proving the 100% legitimate commercial source of my funds.The Double-Faced Game: On Trustpilot, their public relations team openly replied and acknowledged that I successfully "provided the requested documentation and information for your case." However, inside the private support ticket, they are playing a shameless psychological game. An agent named Emil just sent me another ridiculous copy-paste template telling me to wait another "5 business days", while Compliance Officer Christina states they "cannot provide a timeline" for the review.The Core Compliance Flaw of ChangeNOW:I am NOT even asking to complete the exchange to Monero anymore. Since they deemed the trade high-risk, my explicit demand is a Return-to-Source Reversal of my original USDC deposit back to the exact originating transparent address that sent the funds.Under global FATF and AML guidelines, reversing a rejected transaction back to its exact originating transparent address carries ZERO integration or laundering risk for an exchange. It is a simple rejection of funds. By refusing a USDC Return-to-Source refund and keeping my property without a formal court-ordered freezing injunction or law enforcement warrant, ChangeNOW is committing civil theft.To make matters worse, when I tried to voice my complaints on their official subreddit, their team instantly censored and deleted my posts to hide the truth from the public.I am refusing to dox any further sensitive private data to an unregulated commercial platform that operates in bad faith.Ticket" ### Post #3 by @KriptoAnaliz4 > **Author:** Ulvi | Kripto Analiz ([@KriptoAnaliz4](https://x.com/KriptoAnaliz4)) > **Metrics:** 66 likes · 10 retweets · 4 comments · 1.9K views > **Posted:** 2026-06-21T08:31:42+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/KriptoAnaliz4/status/2068612812838961592](https://x.com/KriptoAnaliz4/status/2068612812838961592) > **Visual Note:** The image features a screenshot of a trading screen from a web browser that appears to be Hyperliquid, which is a platform used for trading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

I'm specifically looking for one with these options as i need both FIDO/U2F + PGP and a hardware wallet (for different purposes but i wouldn't mind reducing the cost even if it means my PGP keys are less secure than on 2x 70€ yubikeys which have no crypto usage) As for cryptos, i mostly own SOL and XMR which seems to be both supported by most hardware wallets so probably not an issue." ### Post #5 by @reddit > **Author:** RyuNeonNinja ([@reddit](https://x.com/reddit)) > **Metrics:** 10 likes · 0 retweets · 7 comments · 1.0K views > **Posted:** 2026-06-21T14:47:18.629000+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/reddit/status/6628e3fb8e568d52013b49b37bf0824128dbec3ded227aa60ad5d75cde2fb52e](https://x.com/reddit/status/6628e3fb8e568d52013b49b37bf0824128dbec3ded227aa60ad5d75cde2fb52e) > > "Monero delisted on Kraken, any good alternatives?!
