Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, has announced the removal of five sanctioned Russian banks from its peer-to-peer (P2P) platform, and as a result, users will not be able to pay one another through these financial entities. This might be a result of the regulatory actions taken by the United States government against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. 

Selon un rapport from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the crypto exchange’s P2P list no longer includes five sanctioned Russian lenders on its site, which would allow users to transfer rubles to each other. A spokesperson from Binance told the WSJ that the firm “regularly update[s] our systems to ensure compliance.”

En revanche, un autre porte-parole de la bourse dit TheBlock that the firm “aims to diligently comply with the global sanctions rules and enforces sanctions on people, organizations, entities, and countries that have been blacklisted by the international community, denying such actors access to the Binance platform.”

Interestingly, Binance was earlier criticized for using “yellow” and “green” payment options in its peer-to-peer service. The banks were removed after the criticism, and the WSJ confirmed on August 22 that the exchange was référencement Les banques russes comme Tinkoff et Rosbank comme méthodes de transfert.

Le Binance P2P agit comme un forum de discussion, permettant aux utilisateurs de se transférer de l'argent directement sans que la bourse agisse comme une passerelle, ce qui signifie qu'aucun argent ne touche les serveurs de la bourse. Cependant, la plateforme P2P fait office de dépôt fiduciaire pour les crypto-monnaies. 

On August 24, multiple Russian news outlets confirmed that sanctioned banks were removed from the exchange’s P2P platform. These banks reappeared under the codes “yellow” and “green,” with “yellow” representing sanctioned bank Tinkoff and “green” representing sanctioned bank Rosbank. CoinTelegraph also confirmé la suppression de ces moyens de paiement colorés.

Comme Bitnation l'a signalé précédemment, il a été difficile pour Binance de trouver un partenaire pour travailler en tant que rampe d'entrée et de sortie aux États-Unis. En conséquence, l'échange a annoncé un partenariat avec MoonPay, permettant aux utilisateurs d’acheter et de vendre facilement des crypto-monnaies.
