In response to recent financial sanctions, the cryptocurrency exchange OKX has restricted its users from conducting transactions with the Russian ruble on its P2P platform.

This move follows OKX's earlier decision to halt transactions involving accounts associated with sanctioned banks such as Sberbank, Tinkoff, and Alfa-Bank. The platform's management expressed understanding for the potential inconvenience this may cause to traders.

Despite these restrictions, OKX users still have the ability to purchase cryptocurrencies through various other methods.
