Background

Why Crypto Exchanges Require Proof of Funds

Regulated crypto exchanges must document the origin of crypto assets under EU Regulation 2023/1113 (Transfer of Funds Regulation). These triggers initiate the verification:

01_TFR_REPORTING

Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR)

Since 2025, transfers over €1,000 between exchanges and private wallets must include complete sender and recipient data. This triggers verification for many users for the first time.

02_KYC_UPGRADE

KYC Upgrade & Account Review

Exchanges regularly review existing accounts. If your trading volume has increased, new regulations apply, or your account level is being updated, a re-verification can be triggered.

03_LARGE_MOVEMENT

Large Deposits or Withdrawals

Above-average deposits or withdrawals trigger automatic compliance checks. The exchange is required to actively inquire about unusual amounts.

Bank vs. Exchange

Difference: What Banks and Exchanges Each Want to See

Bank Request

  • Focus on fiat origin
  • Bank statements as primary proof
  • Wants to know: Where did the money for the crypto purchase come from?
  • Deadline: 2-4 weeks

Exchange Verification

  • Focus on crypto transaction history
  • Trade history and wallet proofs as primary evidence
  • Wants to know: Where do the crypto assets on your account come from?
  • Deadline: 14-30 days

TX-Partner prepares the documentation for both scenarios: bank-compliant and exchange-compliant.

What Exchanges Want to See

The Documentation Exchanges Require

Trade History

Complete trading history on the exchange itself: all purchases, sales, deposits, and withdrawals.

Wallet Ownership

Proof that external wallets belong to you. Signed messages or screenshots with wallet address.

Fiat Deposits

Bank statements confirming deposits to the exchange. This shows the legitimate origin of funds.

External Transaction History

For transfers from other exchanges: exports from the source exchange as proof of origin.

Consequences

What Happens If You Don't Respond

1

Withdrawals are blocked

You can no longer withdraw cryptocurrencies or fiat funds.

2

Deposits are blocked

New deposits to your account will be rejected.

3

Account gets restricted

Trading functions may be disabled.

4

Account termination possible

In extreme cases, the exchange can permanently close your account.

The longer you wait, the harder it gets. Respond immediately and start working on the documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What We Get Asked Most

If an exchange no longer exists, on-chain data can serve as an alternative. TX-Partner reconstructs transaction histories from blockchain data, even when the exchange itself no longer provides exports.
Deadlines vary by exchange. Typically 14-30 days. Respond as quickly as possible, as your account may be restricted during the review.
No. Banks and exchanges have different requirements. Exchanges focus on the crypto transaction history, while banks additionally want to see the fiat origin. TX-Partner creates the crypto documentation for both scenarios.
