Binance Platform Access Restricted for Venezuelan Users
Publication Time:2024-08-13 02:16:05
According to media reports, global leading cryptocurrency trading platform Binance has recently restricted its Venezuelan users' ability to access the platform. This measure is similar to the difficulties faced by other websites in various industries within Venezuela, all of which have been affected by the state-owned telecommunications and internet service provider, CANTV's blockade of Amazon CloudFront services. In an official statement, Binance stated that it is closely monitoring the development of the situation and taking measures to resolve this issue as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is noteworthy that despite the restrictions, Binance emphasizes that user funds have been protected by what it calls the 'SAFU' (User Safety Asset Fund). This event further highlights the complexity of Venezuela's current network environment, particularly in terms of the potential ripple effects caused by policy adjustments from the state.
