Former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton criticized crypto platforms that refuse to serve Russian users. Clinton said platforms should be included in a regulatory framework.
As the Russian occupation continues, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov demanded that digital asset platforms freeze the blockchain addresses of Russian users. According to Fedorov, this move will further weaken Russia.
Clinton said in an interview with MSNBC that he was disappointed that some exchanges still provide services to Russian users.
“I am disappointed to see that some so-called crypto exchanges refuse to terminate transactions with Russia due to libertarian philosophy”
According to Clinton, everyone is able to isolate the economic activities of the Russians should act in this direction as much as possible.
“This pressure will definitely impress Putin. I think the Europeans and the Treasury Department should consider how they can prevent the crypto markets from providing an escape route to Russia”
Binance and Kraken had refused to cease serving traders based in Russia. Because such a move would be contrary to the concept of the crypto industry.
Clinton has previously called on the Biden administration to regulate the crypto industry.
