Changes that affected the ruble trading directions on the P2P platform occurred against the backdrop of reports that the US Department of Justice has initiated an investigation into Binance for potential violations of US sanctions against Russia.
The investigation was prompted by suspicions that Binance allows Russian customers to engage in transactions involving at least five Russian banks that are under sanctions.
It is presumed that the exchange covertly lifted restrictions for Russian users on transferring funds in rubles, euros, British pounds, and other currencies from bank cards issued in Russia.
