KuCoin
LeaveRussia detail: Scaling Back
KuCoin is a secure cryptocurrency exchange that allows you to buy, sell, and trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, and 700+ altcoins.
Business in Russia
KuCoin, a popular crypto exchange among Russians, introduces a user verification (KYC) procedure from July 15, 2023. Users who have not passed the mandatory KYC procedures will have their access to trading restricted. KuCoin is one of the few crypto exchanges that continues to serve clients of sanctioned Russian banks.
Decision trail
Decision date 29/08/2023 · Reference ↗
Huobi and KuCoin, both based in Seychelles, still allow traders to transact with debit cards issued by sanctioned Russian banks, including Sberbank, on their peer-to-peer platforms. On the p2p platform of the KuCoin crypto exchange, the Russian banks "Sber", "Tinkoff" and others, in respect of which sanctions have been imposed, were removed.
