KuCoin Widens Sanctions Screening Net to Indirect Crypto Transfers

KuCoin has expanded its sanctions screening to include indirect crypto transfers across 17 platforms. This means users can face restrictions even if they never sent funds directly to one of the listed platforms.

The affected platforms, including Justin Sun-linked HTX, are Shelbit, Aban Tether, A7 Nigeria, A7 Africa, PilotFinance, Rapira, Aifory Pro, ABCeX, WhiteBird, NoOnecrypto, Tradex, Monease, BitPapa, Exnode, Exnode Pay, and EXMO.

KuCoin may screen the source of funds, originating and destination addresses, and intermediary service providers for connections to the affected entities. Transactions attempted to these platforms may undergo enhanced review or trigger temporary wallet and account restrictions.
