EU Imposes Transaction Bans on 14 Crypto Services Amid Russia Sanctions

The European Union has announced a list of 14 crypto-related platforms and service providers that will be subject to transaction bans under its 21st sanctions package against Russia.

The list includes HTX, which is legally identified as Huobi Global SA, as well as EXMO, BitPapa, Rapira, and several smaller crypto and payment businesses. Three services linked by name to the A7 payments network were also added.

The restrictions do not amount to a general European ban on crypto trading, but rather apply to specific legal entities named in the EU regulation from their respective effective dates.
