The records show that Russia ຖືກບລັອກ OKX’s website at the request of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation. It is unclear what triggered the move.

OKX’s website was blocked under article 15.3 of Russia’s federal law on Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection, according to Roskomnadzor records. This article ໂທ for restricting websites for various reasons including fake information and potential threat to financial or credit organizations.

OKX did not respond to The Block’s request for comment by press time.

OKX is the second largest crypto-only exchange in terms of trading volumes and market share, according to data from The Block Research.

Binance later challenged the decision, as it never received any complaints from regulators. The firm successfully ລົ້ນ the ban in January 2021.
