經過批准的加密交易所Garantex在Tether決定在平台上凍結價值2700萬美元的USDT後停止了運營。

在3月6日在電報上的宣布中，該交易所確認了臨時停用加密貨幣交易和提款，理由是Tether決定凍結其資金。

Sanctioned crypto exchange Garantex has reportedly halted operations following a decision by Tether to freeze $27 million worth of USDT on the platform.

據報導，經過批准的加密交易所Garantex已在該平台上凍結價值2700萬美元的USDT的決定後停止了業務。

In a March 6 announcement on Telegram, the exchange announced a temporary suspension of crypto trading and withdrawals, explaining that the move follows Tether’s decision to freeze its funds and an inability to use the stablecoin.

在3月6日在電報上的公告中，該交易所宣布暫時停用加密貨幣交易和提款，並解釋說，此舉是在Tether決定凍結其資金以及無法使用Stablecoin的決定之後的。

“Tether has entered the war against the Russian crypto market and blocked our wallets, the total amount of which is more than 2.5 billion rubles. We are announcing the temporary suspension of all services, including cryptocurrency withdrawal, while our entire team solves this problem,” the firm said.

“系泰特（Tether）與俄羅斯加密貨幣市場（Crypto Market）發動了戰爭，並阻止了我們的錢包，其總額超過25億盧布。我們宣布所有服務的暫時中止，包括加密貨幣提款，而我們的整個團隊都解​​決了這個問題。”該公司說。

Garantex warned that this action could set a precedent, putting all Russian USDT holdings at risk. The exchange also said it plans to challenge the decision, adding that while it may be the first exchange affected, it likely will not be the last.

Garantex警告說，這一行動可以樹立先例，使所有俄羅斯的USDT持股處於危險之中。該交易所還表示，它計劃挑戰這一決定，並補充說，雖然可能是第一個受影響的交易所，但它可能不會是最後一個。

Meanwhile, Tether is yet to provide an official response or explanation for the move.

同時，Tether尚未為此舉提供正式的回應或解釋。

The firm did not immediately respond to CryptoSlate’s request for comment.

該公司沒有立即回應隱板的置評請求。

Tether is the issuer of USDT, the largest stablecoin with a market capitalization of more than $140 billion.

Tether是USDT的發行人，USDT是最大的Stablecoin，市值超過1,400億美元。

Garantex sanctions

Garantex制裁

The latest development comes amid mounting sanctions against Garantex over allegations that it helped Russia circumvent Western financial restrictions.

最新的發展是在針對Garantex的指控越來越有助於俄羅斯規避西方金融限制的指控的情況下進行的。

The US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) first sanctioned the exchange in April 2022 as part of efforts to combat illicit financial activities.

美國財政部外國資產控制辦公室（OFAC）於2022年4月首次批准了該交易所，作為打擊非法財務活動的努力的一部分。

More recently, the European Union also imposed sanctions on Garantex, stating that the exchange has ties to Russian banks already subject to EU restrictions. This marked the first time the EU had directly sanctioned a Russian crypto exchange.

最近，歐盟還對加蘭特（Garantex）實施了製裁，並指出該交流與已經受到歐盟限制的俄羅斯銀行有聯繫。這標誌著歐盟第一次直接批准了俄羅斯加密交易所。

The move followed reports that U.S. and British authorities are investigating Garantex for allegedly facilitating over $20 billion in transactions to evade sanctions. Regulators suspect the platform played a role in Russia’s efforts to move funds, which could have contributed to its war-related financial strategies.

此舉是在報導說，美國和英國當局正在調查Garantex，據稱促進了超過200億美元的交易以逃避制裁。監管機構懷疑該平台在俄羅斯搬遷資金的努力中發揮了作用，這可能有助於其與戰爭相關的財務策略。
