Binance will block transactions with HTX (formerly Huobi) and 10 other crypto exchanges following EU sanctions targeting firms allegedly assisting Russia in circumventing Ukraine-related sanctions. The blacklisting is part of Binance's regulatory compliance to maintain secure operations across jurisdictions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a tightened gatekeeper in Binance as it blocks exchanges hit by EU sanctions; your route to market in Europe just narrowed and calls for alternative flows or compliance upgrades.
