The US Treasury will be able to block crypto addresses associated with Russia

The United States has introduced new sanctions against the Russian financial sector. Against this background, the country's leading exchange, the Moscow Exchange, even suspended trading in dollars and euros

The fact that the American platform can block cryptocurrency addresses belonging to Russian traders follows from new amendments to the relevant bill.

However, the final decision of the Ministry of Finance depends on whether the head of the regulator considers that such a measure is in the national interest. Particularly from a security and public welfare perspective.
