The former U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is “disappointed” that some cryptocurrency exchanges still serve Russian citizens. She said<\/a> this in an MSNBC interview.<\/p>\n

In her words, this is not the reaction she expected after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI was disappointed to see that some of the so-called crypto exchanges refuse to complete transactions with Russia,\u201d Clinton said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She added that economic activity in Russia should be isolated by any means possible right now.<\/p>\n

Clinton also urged Western players to prevent Russia from using cryptocurrencies to evade sanctions.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Treasury and Europeans should consider how they can prevent crypto markets from providing Russia with a loophole for both state and private transactions in the country and abroad,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Earlier, several exchanges, including Coinbase, Binance and Kraken, declined to block all Russian users, saying there were no legal grounds for doing so.<\/p>\n

However, most of them made it clear that they would comply with sanctions if they are extended to individual citizens.<\/p>\n

As reported, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, platforms Kuna, WhiteBIT and CEX.io blocked Russian users.<\/p>\n

The South Korean exchange Gopax also blocked access<\/a> for Russian clients.<\/p>\n
