The BTC/USD will then rise to the overhead resistance at $45,000.In the meantime, Bitcoin has reached the high of $39,048 as of press time.
How Asian Countries Handle Crypto Sanctions Against Russia as Bitcoin Remains Above $38K
The United States and the European Union have continued to impose sanctions against Russia. At the same time, measures are taken to prevent Russia from using cryptocurrencies to invade sanctions. In this vein, global regulators have tasked crypto exchanges to comply with sanctions against Russia. The following are some of the Asian countries that have responded to sanctions.
• Japan Fines Crypto Exchanges That Defy Sanctions
The Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) and the Ministry of Finance have indicated that crypto is part of the restrictions and any crypto assets identified to be related to sanctions should be frozen. In addition, crypto exchanges should not process crypto transactions involving sanctioned individuals or entities in Russia and Belarus. The FSA also indicated that any unauthorized transactions under sanctions, including transfers of cryptocurrencies or nonfungible tokens (NFT), will be liable to three years of imprisonment or one million yen ($8,500) fine.
• Singapore Bans Fund Raising in Crypto for Russia
The government has banned local financial institutions from processing transactions with sanctioned Russian banks as well as assisting in fundraising for the Russian government and related entities. According to the report, the ban covers cryptocurrency transactions, nonfungible tokens, and other digital assets. A crypto exchange like Luno has suggested that most crypto transactions in Singapore are not likely to have direct business relationships with Russia-based individuals or entities. ADDX is also a crypto-enabled private market exchange in Singapore. The crypto exchange said: “We perform Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering checks on all our investors, and we, therefore, do not handle any anonymous transactions.”
• Major Crypto Exchanges in South Korea Block IP Addresses
South Korea has joined global sanctions against Russia as major crypto exchanges are blocking IP addresses or Russian users. For instance, Yonhap and Upbit are major South Korean exchanges that have blocked withdrawals from Russia-linked IP addresses as of March 3. Others include Gopax, Bithumb, and Korbit who have restricted access to platform accounts from Russian IP addresses.
