ChainThink News: According to Bits.media, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, stated that the EU plans to impose restrictions on 11 crypto platforms identified as assisting Russia in circumventing international sanctions as part of the 21st round of sanctions, and expand prohibitions on certain third-country cryptocurrency asset services.

Kaja Kallas said the EU will further expand the sanctions list and prohibit transactions with these 11 crypto platforms, without disclosing specific platform names at this time.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated that the new measures will also extend into the traditional finance sector, potentially affecting around 90 Russian banks, with approximately 31 of them facing comprehensive transaction bans.
