Binance will stop processing transactions involving 11 crypto platforms beginning August 23 this year, following recent regulatory developments. The move expands restrictions introduced earlier this month and reinforces the exchange's compliance obligations across multiple jurisdictions. HTX, formerly known as Huobi, is among the platforms joining Binance's restricted list as regulatory scrutiny of the sector intensifies.

Binance Expands Compliance Restrictions Across Multiple Platforms

Binance announced that transactions involving 11 crypto platforms will no longer be processed after August 23 this year. The affected entities are HTX, EXMO, Rapira, Aifory Pro, ABCeX, WhiteBird, NoOnecrypto, Tradex, Monease, BitPapa, and Exnode.

According to the exchange, users should avoid sending funds directly or indirectly through these platforms once the restrictions take effect. Any transactions attempted after the effective date may be held for compliance reviews and additional verification. The exchange stated that affected wallets could face temporary restrictions while investigations and regulatory checks remain ongoing, and added that transactions involving the listed entities may violate its Terms of Use under certain circumstances.

The latest measures follow earlier restrictions introduced during August against several other crypto service providers. Shelbit and Aban Tether Exchange became subject to restrictions on August 7 following regulatory actions announced earlier. A7 Nigeria, A7 Africa, and PilotFinance Ltd were subsequently added to Binance's restricted list on August 13. The exchange said these actions support compliance requirements and help maintain a secure trading environment. They also fit the compliance posture Binance has maintained since settling with U.S. authorities in late 2023 over failures in its anti-money-laundering and sanctions programs — an agreement that included roughly $4.3 billion in penalties and an independent compliance monitorship.

HTX and Other Platforms Face Growing Regulatory Pressure

Several platforms affected by Binance's latest restrictions have recently faced regulatory scrutiny from international authorities. HTX, formerly known as Huobi, has attracted significant attention from regulators across multiple jurisdictions recently. The platform appeared in the European Union's latest sanctions package targeting entities linked to Russia-related activities — measures that introduced transaction restrictions against several crypto platforms and financial service providers operating internationally.

British authorities designated Huobi Global earlier this year under sanctions connected to alleged Russian support activities. UK regulators later clarified that HTX falls within the scope of those restrictions because of ownership-related considerations. The designations reflect a wider shift in which Western sanctions frameworks, once aimed primarily at banks and traditional financial institutions, have increasingly listed digital-asset platforms since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine prompted successive rounds of Russia-related measures.

Other platforms listed by Binance have also appeared in recent sanctions and compliance enforcement discussions globally. Shelbit and Aban Tether Exchange, for instance, were targeted by United States authorities during August.

Binance emphasized that the restrictions reflect evolving regulatory obligations rather than operational issues involving customer assets. The exchange said compliance with applicable laws remains necessary for maintaining secure and regulated market participation.

Overall, the decision highlights the increasing regulatory pressure facing the cryptocurrency sector as authorities strengthen oversight of digital asset services, and it extends a month of expanding compliance measures at the exchange. For users, August 23 marks the practical cutoff: transfers routed directly or indirectly through the listed platforms after that date may be held for compliance review, and any further changes to the restricted list would surface through Binance's official announcements.
