⛔️ Up to $16,000,000 worth of Russians' funds could be stuck on international crypto exchanges after new sanctions by Great Britain against Russian exchangers and payment services.

Transfers related to Rapira, Aifory, and other platforms were hit — such transactions began to be marked as high-risk, and accounts on Bybit, Binance, Bitget, and other exchanges — sent for verification or blocking.

A separate risk is ABCEX (76 offices in the Russian Federation). According to data from sanction documents, the platform might appear there under a different name, so some users might not have understood that their transfers were connected to a sanctioned service. Now, such transactions might look like "dirty" funds to international exchanges, even if a person simply used a regular exchanger before.

It is worth noting that restrictions can be imposed even for transactions that went through these services several years ago.
