Pada hari Minggu, Mykhailo Fedorov, wakil perdana menteri Ukraina, meminta pertukaran besar untuk memblokir alamat pengguna Rusia.

Binance mengatakan "tidak akan secara sepihak membekukan jutaan akun pengguna yang tidak bersalah."

Jesse Powell, CEO Kraken, pertukaran cryptocurrency utama lainnya, mengatakan di Twitter bahwa perusahaan "tidak dapat membekukan akun klien Rusia kami tanpa persyaratan hukum untuk melakukannya."

Binance mengatakan pada hari Senin bahwa mereka akan memblokir akun orang-orang Rusia yang telah 

sanksi, tetapi tidak akan "secara sepihak" membekukan akun semua pengguna Rusia.

Komentar itu muncul setelah wakil perdana menteri Ukraina meminta pertukaran cryptocurrency utama untuk memblokir semua akun pengguna Rusia.

"Kami tidak akan secara sepihak membekukan jutaan akun pengguna yang tidak bersalah," kata juru bicara Binance, pertukaran cryptocurrency terbesar di dunia, kepada CNBC.

"Crypto dimaksudkan untuk memberikan kebebasan finansial yang lebih besar bagi orang-orang di seluruh dunia. "Untuk secara sepihak memutuskan untuk melarang akses orang ke crypto mereka akan terbang dalam menghadapi alasan mengapa crypto ada."

Pada hari Minggu, Mykhailo Fedorov, wakil perdana menteri Ukraina, meminta pertukaran besar untuk memblokir alamat pengguna Rusia.

"Sangat penting untuk membekukan tidak hanya alamat yang terkait dengan politisi Rusia dan Belarusia, tetapi juga untuk menyabotase pengguna biasa," kata Fedorov dalam sebuah tweet.

Belarus adalah sekutu Rusia.

Rusia terus menyerang kota-kota besar di seluruh Ukraina, tetapi pasukan negara itu diyakini sebagian besar telah menahan kemajuan Rusia.

AS dan Uni Eropa telah menanggapi dengan sanksi yang menargetkan bank-bank Rusia, utang negara, lingkaran dalam Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin dan pemimpin itu sendiri. Rubel Rusia telah jatuh sebagai hasilnya.

Binance mengatakan pihaknya "mengambil langkah-langkah yang diperlukan untuk memastikan kami mengambil tindakan terhadap mereka yang telah memiliki sanksi yang dikenakan terhadap mereka sambil meminimalkan dampak terhadap pengguna yang tidak bersalah."

"Jika masyarakat internasional memperluas sanksi tersebut lebih lanjut, kami akan menerapkannya secara agresif juga," tambah seorang juru bicara perusahaan.

Binance mengatakan akan memblokir akun setiap individu dalam daftar sanksi dan "memastikan bahwa semua sanksi dipenuhi secara penuh."

CNBC juga menghubungi pertukaran cryptocurrency utama lainnya yang menanyakan apakah mereka akan membekukan akun pengguna Rusia, tetapi belum mendengar kembali.

Jesse Powell, CEO Kraken, pertukaran cryptocurrency utama lainnya, mengatakan pada hari Senin di Twitter bahwa perusahaan "tidak dapat membekukan akun klien Rusia kami tanpa persyaratan hukum untuk melakukannya."

Namun, Dmarket, sebuah platform yang memungkinkan orang untuk memperdagangkan barang-barang virtual dalam game, mengatakan telah memutuskan "semua hubungan dengan Rusia dan Belarus karena invasi Ukraina," dalam sebuah pernyataan di Twitter.

Perusahaan mengatakan pengguna dari Rusia dan Belarus dilarang mendaftar ke Dmarket dan akun pengguna dari negara-negara telah dibekukan. Rubel Rusia telah dihapus dari platform, menurut Dmarket, yang menyebut dirinya "startup kelahiran Ukraina."

On Sunday, Mykhailo Fedorov, vice prime minister of Ukraine, asked major exchanges to block the addresses of Russian users.

Binance said it is "not going to unilaterally freeze millions of innocent users' accounts."

Jesse Powell, CEO of Kraken, another major cryptocurrency exchange, said on Twitter that the company "cannot freeze the accounts of our Russian clients without a legal requirement to do so."

Binance said Monday it will block the accounts of Russian individuals who have been 

sanctioned, but will not "unilaterally" freeze the accounts of all Russian users.

The comments come after Ukraine's vice prime minister called on major cryptocurrency exchange to block all Russian user accounts.

"We are not going to unilaterally freeze millions of innocent users' accounts," a spokesperson for Binance, the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, told CNBC.

"Crypto is meant to provide greater financial freedom for people across the globe. To unilaterally decide to ban people's access to their crypto would fly in the face of the reason why crypto exists."

On Sunday, Mykhailo Fedorov, vice prime minister of Ukraine, asked major exchanges to block the addresses of Russian users.

"It's crucial to freeze not only the addresses linked to Russian and Belarusian politicians, but also to sabotage ordinary users," Fedorov said in a tweet.

Belarus is a Russian ally.

Russia continues to attack major cities across Ukraine, but the country's forces are believed to have mostly held off Russian advances.

The U.S. and European Union have responded with sanctions targeting Russian banks, sovereign debt, Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle and the leader himself. The Russian ruble has plunged as a result.

Binance said it is "taking the steps necessary to ensure we take action against those that have had sanctions levied against them while minimizing impact to innocent users."

"Should the international community widen those sanctions further, we will apply those aggressively as well," a company spokesperson added.

Binance said it would block the accounts of any individuals on sanctions lists and was "ensuring that all sanctions are met in full."

CNBC also reached out to other major cryptocurrency exchanges asking if they will freeze Russian user accounts, but has yet to hear back.

Jesse Powell, CEO of Kraken, another major cryptocurrency exchange, said Monday on Twitter that the company "cannot freeze the accounts of our Russian clients without a legal requirement to do so."

However, Dmarket, a platform that allows people to trade virtual in-game items, said it had cut "all relationships with Russia and Belarus due to the invasion of Ukraine," in a statement on Twitter.

The company said users from Russia and Belarus were prohibited from registering with Dmarket and the accounts of users from the countries had been frozen. The Russian ruble has been removed from the platform, according to Dmarket, which called itself a "Ukrainian-born startup."

Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan". - The ongoing protests in Hong Kong have reached a “breaking point” and Singapore is watching the developments “with concern”, said Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing on Monday (Nov 18). “Unless calm is restored, dialogue commences and constructive actions taken, there will be grave doubts about Hong Kong's future and the sustainability of its current governance model,” said Mr Chan in his comments to reporters at The Treasury. Hong Kong has been rocked by months of unprecedented protests, which started initially from opposition to a controversial extradition Bill, but later evolved into a wider movement calling for democratic reforms and a halt to sliding freedoms under Chinese rule. Clashes between protesters and police have turned increasingly violent, with schools emerging as the new battleground in recent days. “We watch with concern the deterioration of the situation in Hong Kong. This is especially so for those of us with relatives in Hong Kong,” said Mr Chan. He added that Hong Kong's continued success as an economic and financial hub is important for the region and the world, including Singapore. “We wish Hong Kong the very best and sincerely hope that the situation will improve soon,” he said.FOUR LESSONS FOR SINGAPOREMr Chan cautioned that what has happened in Hong Kong can “easily happen” to Singapore if the country is complacent. He also explained four lessons that Singapore can draw from the recent uncertainties in Hong Kong. The first is to have a well-functioning political system, which works closely with the public service to anticipate challenges, execute policies well, resolve problems and improve people's lives. “Regardless of political systems and party interests, the exercise of leadership must be to put people’s and country’s interests foremost,” the minister said. Feedback channels will also be required to enable responsive and responsible governance, he added. “Only with a well-functioning political system, the right political culture and a well-oiled feedback-to-action mechanism can we make adjustments to policies as necessary, execute decisively and communicate effectively.” “Today, too many governments and societies are too focused on the immediate and domestic, without sufficient considerations for the future or external.” As an example, he cited how the access to affordable housing and essential services is fundamental to keeping society stable. “The transfer of land ownership and properties across generations cannot be at the expense of depriving future generations’ opportunities to be rewarded based on hard work and capabilities. It cannot be that those who are rich first will be rich forever without due effort.” Mr Chan noted how there have been suggestions for Singapore to include land sales proceeds in the Budget and allow private developers land bank for longer periods so as to complete projects. “Our rules put national developments, especially public housing, as priority,” he elaborated. “We are careful to not distort incentives for Government to use land sales to maximise profits. Otherwise, it is the public that will ultimately pay. We are also careful to not let private developers’ interest override wider public interest. “Revenue from long-term land sales goes into our reserves to benefit future generations. This is the discipline we adhere to,” he said. Mr Chan then moved on to the third lesson on social cohesion and conflict resolution. “Unity amidst diversity requires all parties to bear in mind the wider good of the country, while championing the respective wants of specific communities. “To insist on maximal individual gains, at the expense of the common and collective good, cannot be the Singapore way,” he said. The “Singapore way” also includes dialogue and constructive actions, instead of violence, when it comes to resolving problems. Mr Chan stressed that conflict resolution requires all parties to take actions that are responsible and constructive. Singaporeans are also ultimately responsible for our their future. “Regardless of what others say, we must bear the responsibilities and consequences of our own choices and actions. This is why we are against foreign interference in domestic politics,” he said. Lastly, the minister noted that it is never easy for small city-states to survive and thrive without a conventional hinterland for supplies, markets and opportunities. “Singapore will have to pick up the pieces ourselves should things go badly wrong,” he said. Therefore, Singapore's continued relevance to the world is “never a given” and the country must continue to work hard, distinguish itself and stay exceptional amid global uncertainties. This includes growing opportunities for local enterprises and workers, as well as providing value to regional and global geo-strategic affairs with principled perspectives and clear-eyed analysis of the challenges and opportunities, among others.

SINGAPURA: Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan", kata Menteri Perdagangan dan Industri Chan Chun Sing, Senin (18 November).  "Jika ketenangan tidak dipulihkan, dialog akan dimulai dan tindakan konstruktif telah diambil, akan ada keraguan besar tentang masa depan Hong Kong dan keberlanjutan model pemerintahan saat ini," kata Mr Chan dalam komentarnya kepada wartawan di The Treasury.  Hong Kong telah diguncang oleh berbulan-bulan protes yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, yang dimulai awalnya dari oposisi ke RUU ekstradisi yang kontroversial, tetapi kemudian berkembang menjadi gerakan yang lebih luas yang menyerukan reformasi demokratis dan penghentian kebebasan geser di bawah kekuasaan Tiongkok.  Bentrokan antara pemrotes dan polisi semakin berubah menjadi kekerasan, dengan sekolah-sekolah muncul sebagai medan pertempuran baru dalam beberapa hari ...
