Binance announced it will stop processing transactions involving HTX and 10 other crypto platforms starting August 23 due to new sanctions and regulatory restrictions, particularly from the EU and UK targeting entities linked to Russia. These platforms include Rapira, Aifory Pro, EXMO, and others recently sanctioned for allegedly helping Russia evade sanctions. Transactions may be held for compliance reviews and wallets linked to these services could face restrictions. Binance advises users not to send assets to these platforms after the cutoff to avoid compliance issues. This move follows earlier U.S. Treasury sanctions on other crypto exchanges linked to Iran and sanctions enforcement efforts globally.
