Calls to Block Russian Users Rejected

Japón’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) and the Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association have reportedly said they are trying to find ways of stopping blacklisted Russian entities from evading sanctions via the use of cryptocurrencies. Japón’s move to target Russian cryptocurrency users has come shortly after Tokyo imposed sanctions on Russian officials including the countrys President, Vladimir Putin.

Por otra parte, a reporte suggested that the two parties are, sin embargo, not discussing or deliberating on a plan to block all Russian users. En cambio, the report said the regulator is focused on finding ways to stop anyone that uses cryptocurrencies to evade sanctions.

Como anteriormente reportado por Bitcoin-Tidings.com Noticias, some major cryptocurrency exchanges have refused to block all Russian users as has been demanded by many including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. One of these exchanges, kraken, said it cannot freeze the accounts of Russian clients without a legal requirement to do so.

Effectiveness of Sanctions Against Russia

Mientras tanto, a Bloomberg report quotes the Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki who explains to the countrys parliament how Tokyo is working to plug loopholes that may be exploited by sanctioned Russians. Él dijo:

We are closely watching the situations of settlements such as crypto assets and SPFS in order to secure [la] effectiveness of sanctions against Russia.

Revelations that Japan is planning to block sanctioned Russian entities are coming just a few days after some South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges confirmed that they are nowblocking users from countries that are at high risks of money laundering.
