The UK government has sanctioned crypto exchange HTX, formerly Huobi, under its Russia sanctions regime for allegedly providing financial services linked to Russian entities A7 LLC and Garantex Europe OU. The sanctions include asset freezes, director disqualifications, banking restrictions, and internet service limitations to block UK users from accessing HTX services. This move signals increased geopolitical scrutiny on crypto exchanges as part of global financial enforcement, reflecting a shift toward targeting exchanges directly for facilitating access to sanctioned networks. HTX, a major global exchange associated with Justin Sun, has not yet responded publicly to the sanctions.
