KuCoin exits Russia and Belarus as exchanges pull back from sanctioned markets
AI summary
KuCoin is closing user accounts in Russia and Belarus, following similar exits by MEXC and Bitget earlier this month. The move reflects crypto exchanges withdrawing from Western-sanctioned markets to limit regulatory and compliance exposure. Traders should watch for reduced liquidity and regional access as more platforms align with sanctions regimes.
