🛑On August 9, 2024, the Venezuelan government blocked access to Binance, a major cryptocurrency platform, as well as social network X (formerly Twitter), amid rising political tension following the disputed presidential election on July 28. This block was spotted by local anti-censorship organization VE sin Filtro, which reported a DNS restriction affecting both Binance's website and mobile app in Venezuela.

The block is part of a broader measure that includes restrictions on several online platforms, apparently in response to the ongoing political crisis. This has raised concerns among Venezuelan users, many of whom rely on Binance to protect their savings in the face of hyperinflation of the bolivar. Experts in Venezuela's crypto ecosystem have advised users to use VPNs and consider self-custody options to protect their funds. #Binance #Bitcoin #ETH #BNB #USDT
