Bitfinex refuses to freeze crypto belonging to non-sanctioned Russians By Cointelegraph

Amid global businesses boycotting the Russian residents over the military conflict in Ukraine, some companies in the cryptocurrency industry stand up for the rights of non-sanctioned Russian citizens.

Bitfinex, an affiliate firm of the world’s largest stablecoin provider, (USDT), will not unilaterally freeze the accounts of ordinary Russian customers as part of the global sanctions unless it’s forced to do so, Bitfinex chief technology officer Paolo Ardoino told Cointelegraph on Thursday.
