Currency.com: Crypto business will continue to serve Russian citizens

Cryptocurrency companies, despite the political situation, see themselves outside of politics and are ready to continue to follow the key principles of “cryptocurrency without borders”.

Cryptocurrency platform Currency.com, headquartered in Belarus, announced that it is not going to limit clients from the Russian Federation, Ukraine:

“Restrictions may be introduced by individual American platforms. In general, the crypto industry always tries to abstract from what is happening in politics.”

The trading platform does not intend to suspend the provision of services against the backdrop of increased sanctions pressure from the United States, Great Britain and the European Union. A representative of the platform assured that crypto exchanges “will be the last financial institutions to refuse services to Russian citizens.” In his opinion, following the interests of politicians is contrary to the key values ​​of the crypto industry. However, the source expressed concern about the decisions of some other financial institutions:

“I see that some fintech projects are already refusing to serve the Russians. I consider this a great injustice, there is no need to put an equal sign between the authorities and the people.

On the morning of February 24, a military operation of the Russian Ministry of Defense began in Ukraine. The stock markets reacted with a sharp drop, as did the cryptocurrency market – bitcoin fell to $34,300. By the evening, bitcoin rose slightly above $35,500. It is worth noting that the governments of many countries do not welcome the actions of crypto companies directed against the policies of the authorities. Recently, the Canadian regulator accused the CEOs of Coinbase and Kraken of anti-government activities.
