cant trade chroma case 3 keys?

[ExP]

so i wanted to trade with a friend my chroma case 3 keys, i have 3 of them. but when i look in the tags, it says not tradable and not marketable. bought the keys in game and not from the market.

when did you buy them?

[Dipper]

valve banned keys from trading because it was getting to a point which the keys were seen as a currency ( gambling etc.) but the old keys which were created before the ban are still tradable but new ones are not Sorry for my poor explanation my english sucks these days

They made an update making it so when ever you buy a key (other than the ones already in circulation" you can't trade or sell them.
