Transaction restrictions are limitations placed on the movement or use of funds or digital assets. These can be imposed by regulatory bodies, platforms, or smart contracts to enforce compliance with anti-money laundering laws, sanctions, or specific protocol rules. They might include limits on transaction size, frequency, or the ability to transact with certain addresses or jurisdictions. Such restrictions are implemented to prevent illicit activities and maintain system integrity.
Context

Discussions often center on the technical feasibility of enforcing these restrictions on decentralized protocols and their impact on user autonomy. Future developments could involve more sophisticated on-chain monitoring and compliance tools. News frequently reports on platforms implementing or modifying these restrictions in response to regulatory pressures.
