Krüptokaubandusterminali käivitamine peatab kõik Venemaa kontod

As cryptocurrency exchanges stand their ground on refusing to ban Russian customers across the board, one upstart company is doing the opposite.

Texas-based cryptocurrency trading terminal startup HyperLinq decided to suspend service for Russian users.

“I know the majority of exchanges have decided not to place a ban on Russian users, and that’s their business decision, and I respect it,” said CEO Amar Gautam. “But we feel very strongly about the human suffering that’s happening in Ukraine.”

Russian accounts make up about 2% of HyperLinq’s business, Gautam said. Users in Russia were given advance notice that their accounts would be suspended, he added, but HyperLinq has not yet received any pushback.

“It doesn’t matter how big or small a business you are,” Guatam said. “I have a very strong opinion on this, and I feel like exchanges should do more.”

USA-välised börsid, nagu Binance ja FTX, on väitnud, et venelaste krüptole juurdepääsu säilitamine on ülioluline, arvestades nende kasvavat sõltuvust digitaalsetest varadest, kuna rubla langeb USA ja Euroopa rangete sanktsioonide ees.

Binance, millel on ametlikku peakorterit pole, will not “unilaterally freeze millions of innocent users’ accounts,” a spokesperson said. Bahamas-based FTX “plans to continue complying with the laws related to sanctioned countries,” a spokesperson said.

“The exchanges are saying that regular people in Russia are not responsible for this war and freezing their funds would bring hardship to them,” Guatam said. “I understand that argument. I think even if you do not want to freeze their funds, at least stop them from trading.”

Mündibaas, mis avalikult stood behind Russian users in the face of sanctions, nevertheless blocked 25,000 wallets addresses linked to what it believes are Russian individuals and entities engaged in illegal activity Monday.

HyperLinq plans to donate all of its March revenue to efforts in Ukraine, Guatam said.
