$BTC EU Proposes Russia Crypto Ban – Major New Regulation Coming? Impact on BTC & Markets
Breaking news today: The European Union is proposing a full ban on crypto services to Russia as part of new sanctions (reported by Bloomberg & Reuters, Feb 2025).
Key details:
Targets crypto wallets, exchanges, and payment services linked to Russia
Aims to close remaining loopholes after SWIFT & banking restrictions
Part of 15th EU sanctions package against Russia (Ukraine conflict related)
Would make EU-based platforms block Russian users/IPs & transactions
Market impact so far:
BTC real-time ~$68,500–$70,500 (still in correction, no immediate big reaction)
Overall sentiment: Extreme fear (index ~11–14), but this news adds more regulatory pressure on global crypto
Long-term: Could accelerate adoption of decentralized/non-EU platforms (DeFi, self-custody wallets)
