Crypto exchange HTX has included Russia in the list of jurisdictions from which clients are prohibited from using the platform's services. The list of restricted markets also includes the US, UK, EU countries, Singapore and other countries. According to the terms of the user agreement, HTX has the right to close the accounts of users from these regions and suspend the withdrawal of funds. At the same time, the wording of the agreement itself does not mean that all Russian accounts have already been blocked. The start date of the restrictions and the working procedure with existing customers require special attention from the property owners. In October, Bitget and MEXC also announced the termination of services to Russian users. Consistent decisions by large platforms reduce the number of foreign trade services available to Russians. The risk is particularly sensitive for clients who store funds directly on the exchange: the ability to dispose of assets now depends on both the rules of the site and their actual implementation regime.
