Binance Implements Crypto Restrictions to Users in Russia

Crypto-wallets that exceed the amount will be placed into a withdrawal-only mode, with no deposits or trading permitted, Binance reported. Users with over 10,000 EUR in their accounts and open Futures/Derivatives positions will have 90 days to terminate them. Russian nationals that reside outside of Russia won’t be restricted.
Earlier in April, the EU extended the ban of crypto wallet deposits during the sanctions on Russia. The prohibition aims to limit Russians trying to move money overseas.
