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. 

Enligt a Rapportera 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.”

Däremot en annan talesperson från börsen berättade 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 lista Ryska banker som Tinkoff och Rosbank som överföringsmetoder.

Binance P2P fungerar som en anslagstavla, vilket gör att användare kan överföra pengar till varandra direkt utan att börsen fungerar som en gateway, vilket innebär att inga pengar vidrör börsens servrar. P2P-plattformen fungerar dock som en deposition för kryptovalutor. 

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 bekräftad borttagandet av dessa färgade betalningsmetoder.

Som tidigare rapporterats av Bitnation har det varit svårt för Binance att hitta en partner att arbeta som en fiat på och av rampen i USA. Som ett resultat, utbytet tillkännagav ett samarbete med MoonPay, så att användare enkelt kan köpa och sälja krypto.
