Why crypto transactions can’t be reversed

Once a crypto transaction is confirmed, it’s permanent. Unlike bank transfers or credit card payments, you can’t cancel or dispute it.

Why?

• There’s no central authority to reverse them
• The blockchain permanently records confirmed transactions
• The network must agree before a transaction is finalized

This protects users from fraud, but it also means mistakes can’t be undone.

Before you send crypto, double-check the recipient details. It only takes a second, and it can prevent a permanent mistake.
