Binance closes UAH deposit and withdrawal channels via Fiat Trade and delists USDT/UAH spot trading pair.
Regulation & Gov ·
Binance announced it will close Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH) deposits and withdrawals through its Fiat Trade service and delist the USDT/UAH spot trading pair, effective September 28, 2026. The move affects the exchange's fiat on and off-ramps for the currency and eliminates direct stablecoin trading against the hryvnia on the platform.
The closure follows what appears to be a broader shift in Binance's regional operations. The delisting removes one of the main on-chain entry and exit points for USDT traders in Ukraine, though users may still access the stablecoin through other trading pairs or peer-to-peer channels. The timing and scope of the closure remain unclear, as do any public statements from Binance explaining the rationale behind the decision.
What is not yet known is whether this reflects regulatory pressure, commercial considerations, or strategic realignment in Eastern European markets. No stated timeline for re-enabling services or alternative support mechanisms has been disclosed.
