经过批准的加密交易所Garantex在Tether决定在平台上冻结价值2700万美元的USDT后停止了运营。

在3月6日在电报上的宣布中，该交易所确认了临时停用加密货币交易和提款，理由是Tether决定冻结其资金。

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

据报道，经过批准的加密交易所Garantex已在该平台上冻结价值2700万美元的USDT的决定后停止了业务。

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日在电报上的公告中，该交易所宣布暂时停用加密货币交易和提款，并解释说，此举是在Tether决定冻结其资金以及无法使用Stablecoin的决定之后的。

“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）与俄罗斯加密货币市场（Crypto Market）发动了战争，并阻止了我们的钱包，其总额超过25亿卢布。我们宣布所有服务的暂时中止，包括加密货币提款，而我们的整个团队都解​​决了这个问题。”该公司说。

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警告说，这一行动可以树立先例，使所有俄罗斯的USDT持股处于危险之中。该交易所还表示，它计划挑战这一决定，并补充说，虽然可能是第一个受影响的交易所，但它可能不会是最后一个。

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

同时，Tether尚未为此举提供正式的回应或解释。

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

该公司没有立即回应隐板的置评请求。

Garantex sanctions

Garantex制裁

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

最新的发展是在针对Garantex的指控越来越有助于俄罗斯规避西方金融限制的指控的情况下进行的。

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.

美国财政部外国资产控制办公室（OFAC）于2022年4月首次批准了该交易所，作为打击非法财务活动的努力的一部分。

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，欧盟还对加兰特（Garantex）实施了制裁，并指出该交流与已经受到欧盟限制的俄罗斯银行有联系。这标志着欧盟第一次直接批准了俄罗斯加密交易所。

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.

此举是在报道说，美国和英国当局正在调查Garantex，据称促进了超过200亿美元的交易以逃避制裁。监管机构怀疑该平台在俄罗斯搬迁资金的努力中发挥了作用，这可能有助于其与战争相关的财务策略。
