Moscow. September 27. INTERFAX.RU – Crypto exchange Binance announced its departure from Russia.
“As we look to the future, we recognize that operating in Russia is not compatible with Binance’s compliance strategy,” said the exchange’s chief compliance officer Noah Perlman, as quoted in the Binance release.
The exchange said it had entered into an agreement to sell its entire Russian business to CommEX. “In order to ensure a smooth transition of existing users to another platform, the disconnection process will take up to one year. New users who have completed the personal data verification procedure will be partially redirected to the CommEX platform,” the release said.
Within a few months, Binance will close all business areas in Russia.
“While the financial details of the transaction remain confidential, it should be noted that as part of this agreement, Binance will completely cease its operations in Russia. Unlike transactions previously carried out by international companies in Russia, as part of this transaction, Binance will not retain the rights to receiving part of the profit following the sale and the possibility of repurchasing shares in the business,” the statement says.
CommEX, in the laconic “About Us” section on the company’s website, states that it is a “centralized cryptocurrency exchange.” There is no information regarding the founders there.
