What does available for withdrawal mean?

Crypto that's available for withdrawal excludes any crypto that's locked and protected under withdrawal limits. It represents the portion of crypto that's immediately accessible for withdrawal following the deposit into the account.

What does locked value mean?

Locked value refers to the value of any crypto of your recent deposit. This value is unavailable for withdrawal. The locking period is based on several risk factors, including unexpected behaviors in account and transaction activities.
