Binance to restrict transactions involving HTX and 10 other crypto platforms

Binance has announced it will stop processing direct or indirect transactions involving HTX and ten other cryptocurrency platforms starting August 23, 2026. The affected platforms include Rapira, Aifory Pro, ABCeX, WhiteBird, NoOnecrypto, Tradex, Monease, BitPapa, Exnode, and EXMO.

Justin Sun, the founder of Tron and advisor to HTX, stated that these restrictions apply specifically to users in the United Kingdom and the European Union. Sun claimed that HTX does not conduct business in those regions and noted that negotiations with regulators in both jurisdictions are currently underway.

The move aligns with European Union Council Regulation 2026/1848, which identifies these eleven platforms as entities providing crypto asset services outside the EU that significantly frustrate sanctions involving Russia. Binance warned that transactions attempted after the deadline may be held for compliance review, and affected wallets could face restrictions during the process.
