According to Russian business media outlet RBC, cryptocurrency exchange HTX has included Russia in its list of restricted jurisdictions under its user agreement. The restrictions apply to individuals residing in or located in Russia, as well as companies registered or primarily operating there. Under the agreement, HTX may restrict access to its services, suspend withdrawals, or close affected accounts.

Earlier in October, Bitget and MEXC also announced plans to discontinue services for Russian users. RBC did not specify when HTX's restrictions took effect.
