  • Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has no intention to introduce restrictions for Russian traders, despite a recent reminder by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) about the obligations of crypto providers in that respect.
  • Bybit further insisted that its team is doing everything possible to provide all users with equal access to its platform and is working to ensure their funds are safe and they have the best trading experience.
  • After previously banning only “high-value” crypto-asset services for Russian residents and companies, the Union’s eighth sanctions package prohibited European companies from providing all crypto wallet, account, or custody services to Russians.
