Binance delisting UAH deposits, withdrawals, and USDT/UAH pair effective September 28 due to regulatory pressures in EU and US investigations.
Regulation & Gov ·
Binance is removing support for Ukrainian hryvnia (UAH) deposits, withdrawals, and the USDT/UAH trading pair starting September 28. The measure affects Ukrainian clients holding UAH balances, which will be converted automatically to USDT by September 30 without requiring user intervention.
The delisting comes amid regulatory strain on the exchange across multiple jurisdictions. Binance is contending with investigations in the United States and regulatory pressure from European authorities, with earlier compliance issues and alleged sanctions violations cited as underlying factors.
The exact regulatory mechanisms prompting the UAH removal remain unspecified. Whether the action reflects direct orders from Ukrainian regulators, compliance with sanctions frameworks, or voluntary steps to mitigate broader regulatory exposure is not detailed in available announcements.
