UK dropped the hammer on crypto 3 months ago—most people still don't know.
Banned entities:
$HTX (Huobi Global)
Rapira Group
Aifory
Open JSC Arvix
Bitpapa (P2P platform)
This wasn't just regulatory theater. Banking sanctions = death sentence for on/off ramps in that jurisdiction.
If you're still using any of these platforms from UK IPs, you're playing with fire. Expect frozen withdrawals, blocked cards, and compliance nightmares.
The UK is setting a precedent—other jurisdictions will copy-paste this playbook. Watch which exchanges start geo-blocking aggressively in Q2.
