Bitget Imposes Transaction Controls on 16 Crypto Platforms Amid Sanctions

Bitget is tightening controls on transactions involving 16 cryptocurrency platforms following sanctions actions by US and European authorities.

The exchange is rolling out the restrictions in three stages, targeting platforms including HTX and EXMO. Bitget warned that transactions routed indirectly through the affected platforms could also face additional checks.

The measures are linked to recent sanctions actions, with the first two rounds following US Treasury sanctions targeting entities accused of helping evade restrictions.

The largest group faces restrictions from Aug. 23, including HTX, EXMO, Rapira, Aifory Pro and ABCeX.
