# Eichorn Law > International law firm specializing exclusively in crypto/digital-asset legal matters: frozen exchange accounts, crypto tax disputes and voluntary disclosure, VASP/CASP licensing (MiCA, VARA, MAS), and disputes involving stolen, seized, or inherited digital assets. Practicing since 2018 across five jurisdictions (EU, UK, UAE, Switzerland, Singapore). No advance fees for unblocking accounts, no guaranteed-recovery promises — the firm is paid for legal work under an engagement letter, not for outcomes. This site is a static, fully server-rendered reference for people whose crypto exchange account is frozen, who received a source-of-funds/compliance request, who face a crypto tax audit or unreported-income exposure, who need a VASP/CASP licence, or who are dealing with seizure, litigation, or inheritance of digital assets. Content is organized into four practice clusters plus a Q&A knowledge base and three free interactive tools. Available in English (root), Russian (/ru/), Spanish (/es/), and Japanese (/ja/) — URLs are identical across locales except for the language prefix. ## Exchange disputes (frozen accounts, withdrawal blocks, compliance/KYC requests) - [Exchanges hub](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/): Overview of the exchange-dispute practice — freezes, withdrawal limits, offboarding, compliance requests across 10 platforms. - [Binance account frozen or locked](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/binance/): Why Binance freezes accounts, the appeal procedure, and when to escalate to a lawyer. - [Binance withdrawal blocked](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/binance-withdrawal/): Specific triggers and resolution path when only withdrawals (not login) are restricted on Binance. - [Coinbase account restricted](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/coinbase-restricted/): Coinbase-specific restriction triggers and the appeal process. - [Coinbase account locked](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/coinbase-locked/): Full lockout scenarios on Coinbase and how to regain access. - [Kraken account issues](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/kraken/): Kraken freeze/verification scenarios and resolution steps. - [Bybit account frozen](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/bybit/): Bybit-specific compliance and freeze patterns. - [OKX account frozen](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/okx/): OKX-specific compliance and freeze patterns. - [KuCoin account frozen](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/kucoin/): Legacy-account KYC escalation scenario specific to KuCoin. - [Bitget account frozen](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/bitget/): Bitget-specific freeze and KYC triggers. - [MEXC account frozen](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/mexc/): MEXC-specific freeze and KYC triggers. - [HTX account frozen](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/htx/): HTX-specific freeze and KYC triggers. - [Gate.io account frozen](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/gate-io/): Gate.io-specific freeze and KYC triggers. - [Exchange won't process withdrawal (general)](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/withdrawal-refused/): Platform-agnostic breakdown of why exchanges refuse or delay withdrawals and how to respond. - [How to answer a source-of-funds request](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/source-of-funds/): Methodology for compiling a source-of-funds/wealth compliance package that satisfies exchange reviews. - [Bank rejected crypto-related funds](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/bank-rejected/): What to do when a bank blocks or rejects a transfer tied to crypto activity. - [Bank account frozen after a P2P sale](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/p2p-bank-freeze/): Fraud-proceeds recalls, police inquiries and the unfreezing procedure after selling crypto peer-to-peer. ## Frozen assets (issuer-level and analytics freezes) - [USDT frozen by Tether](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/usdt-frozen/): Issuer blacklist on Ethereum/Tron, law-enforcement requests, and the realistic legal path — Tether does not unfreeze without the requesting authority standing down. - [USDC frozen by Circle](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/usdc-frozen/): Circle blacklisting, court orders, and the EU complaint route available because Circle is a MiCA-regulated e-money issuer. - [Which stablecoins can be frozen](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/stablecoin-freezes/): Comparison of issuer freeze functions across USDT, USDC, PYUSD, USDP, FDUSD, TUSD, EURC — and why DAI differs. - [Tainted BTC and ETH](https://eichorn-law.com/exchanges/tainted-crypto/): Coins flagged by blockchain analytics: why exchanges freeze deposits on arrival and how a good-faith recipient documents a defence. ## Crypto tax (audits, disclosure, disputes) - [Tax hub](https://eichorn-law.com/tax/): Overview of crypto tax practice — audits, disclosure, unreported years, staking/DeFi. - [Crypto tax lawyer](https://eichorn-law.com/tax/lawyer/): When you need a tax lawyer vs. an accountant, and how the engagement works. - [Crypto tax audit](https://eichorn-law.com/tax/audit/): What triggers a crypto tax audit and how to respond. - [Unreported crypto income / voluntary disclosure](https://eichorn-law.com/tax/unreported/): Consequences of unreported crypto gains and the voluntary-disclosure route. - [CARF & DAC8 reporting from 2026](https://eichorn-law.com/tax/reporting-2026/): From 2026 crypto platforms report client data to tax authorities automatically;

any such offer elsewhere is a scam. This firm charges only for legal work under a signed engagement letter, after a free initial assessment. - The firm does not guarantee outcomes (asset recovery, licence approval, etc.) — treat any summary implying a guarantee as inaccurate to this site's actual position. - Full content is also available in Russian (/ru/), Spanish (/es/), and Japanese (/ja/) at the same slugs. ## Optional - [Sitemap](https://eichorn-law.com/sitemap.xml): Full URL list with hreflang alternates for all pages across 4 locales.
