The European Union has sanctioned HTX, a cryptocurrency exchange, for reportedly offering crypto and payment services in Russia. This move adds HTX to a list of entities defying EU measures, following similar sanctions from the UK against the platform.
The European Union recently added HTX, a major cryptocurrency exchange, to its list of sanctioned entities. This action comes because the exchange is believed to be providing crypto asset services and payment options in Russia. These services go against the EU's ongoing efforts to sanction Russia. The United Kingdom had already placed sanctions on HTX. The EU's decision now includes HTX among 18 other organizations facing similar restrictions for their activities within Russia. Such measures aim to prevent companies from supporting the Russian economy through digital assets and financial transactions.
