According to CoinMeta, Binance announced that it will restrict users' transactions with 16 crypto asset service providers, including the major exchanges HTX (Huobi) and Exmo. This measure is taken to comply with sanctions-related regulatory requirements and will be implemented in phases. In a user notification on August 14, Binance stated that the restrictions would take effect on three different dates this month. Users who attempt to trade with these platforms after these dates may face compliance reviews. Binance stated that this move is aimed at maintaining the safety of users and their assets, and warned that continuing to attempt transactions with these platforms may violate its terms of use.
