  It's possible that your bank declined the transfer because they have restrictions or policies in place regarding cryptocurrency transactions. Some banks are cautious about the potential risks associated with cryptocurrencies, such as money laundering or fraud. You can contact your bank to inquire about their specific policies and see if there's any way to resolve the issue.

  Banks sometimes decline cryptocurrency transactions due to security concerns. They may view cryptocurrency purchases as high-risk transactions and want to protect their customers from potential scams or unauthorized transactions. It's a good idea to reach out to your bank and ask for more information about why the transfer was declined and what steps you can take to complete the transaction safely.
