KuCoin stops serving users in Russia and Belarus immediately across all products and features

KuCoin has announced an immediate halt to service for users in Russia and Belarus, with the restriction applying across the platform’s products and functions. For high-risk payment operators, the practical point is simple: if a crypto venue cuts off two jurisdictions at once, the compliance and onboarding rules around related flows need to be checked right away.

1. According to the announcement, the suspension is effective immediately and covers all products and features on the KuCoin platform.
2. The restriction applies to users in Russia and Belarus, so any merchant, PSP, or partner that touches KuCoin-linked flows in those markets needs to treat the change as a live operational constraint, not a future policy update.
3. The notice does not include a phased timeline, carve-outs, or product-level exceptions, which usually means the cleanest reading is the one operators should use: access is off across the board unless KuCoin says otherwise.
