What is known about the restrictions? If the relevant decision is made by the authorities, Switzerland will freeze those assets of Russians that are located in its jurisdiction. These include various custodial services, wallets, exchanges, and funds under management.
According to Guy Parmelin, a member of the Swiss Federal Council, the freezing of cryptocurrency assets is necessary “to protect the integrity” of the entire digital industry. Earlier, the Coinbase exchange also reported blocking more than 25 000 accounts from Russia.
