The third crypto exchange leaves the Russian Federation: HTX has limited services for Russians HTX (formerly Huobi) added Russia to the list of prohibited jurisdictions: users from the Russian Federation cannot use the exchange's services. Thus, it became the third largest platform to limit work with Russian clients in October, before Bitate and MEXC took similar steps. Bitt signed the ban on October 18 and gave customers until October 21 to close positions and withdraw assets, and MEXC announced the end of service to users from Russia and Belarus on October 20, sending customers individual withdrawal conditions. The HTX restriction applies not only to residents, but also to anyone who is physically in Russia, including certain regions. The exchange expressly reserved the right to close accounts and suspend withdrawal, and the list of prohibited countries can be changed without separate notice - customers should independently monitor updates on the platform. Experts attribute the decision to pressure sanctions: In May, Britain added the exchange operator, Huobi Global S.A., to the sanctions list, after which the European Union joined the restrictions. Against this background, the platforms tighten compliance and approach consistently close to individual jurisdictions. Financial guard at TG.
