HTX

European Union sanctions have been imposed on cryptocurrency exchange HTX, which is linked to Russia's crypto ecosystem and associated with Justin Sun, a former supporter of the Trump family's digital currency business. Experts suggest HTX is using strategies to mitigate the sanctions' impact, and investigations have tied the exchange to Russian money laundering and military funding.

The EU added HTX to its Russia sanctions list, effective August 23, barring transactions. Other crypto platforms included are EXMO, Rapira, BitPapa, Aifory Pro, WhiteBird, NoOnecrypto, and Exnode.

The EU included HTX, owned by Justin Sun, in its Russia sanctions package, two months after the UK did so. The 21st sanctions package did not impose a full asset freeze on HTX, which the EU accused of significantly frustrating its Russia-related measures.
