  Preauthorization holds are a common practice in the cryptocurrency industry. When you initiate a transaction, a certain amount of funds is temporarily held in your account to ensure that you have sufficient balance to cover the transaction. This hold is released once the transaction is completed. It helps prevent insufficient funds and potential fraud. However, it's important to note that the duration of the hold can vary depending on the exchange or platform you're using. It's advisable to check the specific policies of the exchange you're using to understand the exact duration and implications of preauthorization holds.

  Hey there! Preauth holds are like those annoying temporary holds on your credit card when you check into a hotel or rent a car. In the world of cryptocurrency, they serve a similar purpose. When you make a transaction, a certain amount of funds is temporarily locked in your account to make sure you can cover the transaction. Once the transaction is complete, the hold is released. Different exchanges may have different hold durations, so it's always a good idea to check the specific policies of the exchange you're using. Just a heads up, though, these holds can sometimes be a bit of a buzzkill if you're trying to make multiple transactions in a short period of time.
