What do the Binance representatives say? The exchange representatives noted:
“Crypto is meant to provide greater financial freedom for people across the globe. To unilaterally decide to ban people’s access to their crypto would fly in the face of the reason why crypto exists.”
Who restricted access to accounts? On the CEX IO platform, access was restricted for new users from Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. By new, we mean accounts registered less than four months ago. Representatives of BTC Alpha stated that “they are forced to suspend the platform for Russian citizens until the situation in Ukraine stabilizes.”
