According to the recent announcement on Sept. 27, Binance will sell its entire business operations in Russia to CommEX in order to facilitate the exit. The off-boarding process is expected to span approximately one year, during which Binance is committed to safeguarding the assets of its Russian user base.
Noah Perlman, Chief Compliance Officer at Binance, explained the rationale behind this decision, stating,
"As we look toward the future, we recognize that operating in Russia is not compatible with Binance's compliance strategy."
Reports indicate that Binance and CommEX have devised an orderly process for the seamless migration of users from Binance to CommEX. This strategic partnership will focus on guiding users to transfer their assets to the new platform.
Russian users who have undergone Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures will be redirected to CommEX promptly following their registration, with plans to scale up this process in the future.Over the coming months, Binance will gradually phase out all exchange services and business operations in Russia as part of this transition.
In the last few months, Binance had taken steps to comply with Western sanctions requirements and had imposed trading restrictions on its platform in Russia. Additionally, the platform had taken measures to limit peer-to-peer trading activities involving sanctioned Russian banks.

Do Kwon Faces Extradition to the United States Over Terra Crypto Collapse

The decision, yet to be officially announced, follows the US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) charges against Kwon for alleged crypto asset securities fraud.
Montenegro's Justice Minister is reportedly inclined to extradite Do Kwon, the founder of Terraform Labs, to the United States, according to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal.
Do Kwon, a key figure in the Terra blockchain ecosystem, is wanted by the United States and South Korea for his alleged involvement in the downfall of Terra's digital assets.
The decision follows Kwon's arrest in Montenegro last March. The collapse, which occurred in May 2022, triggered a broader market downturn affecting major players in the cryptocurrency space.
Legal Maneuvers and Extradition Talks
Kwon, who initially agreed to be extradited to South Korea, now faces the possibility of extradition to the United States. Montenegro's Justice Minister has privately communicated the decision to send Kwon to the US to answer charges related to financial crimes.
The specific charges include commodities fraud, securities fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to defraud and engage in market manipulation during Kwon's tenure at Terra.
Despite Kwon's earlier agreement for extradition to South Korea, the final decision rests with Justice Minister Milovic. The minister may await the outcome of a potential last-ditch appeal by Kwon against the court ruling.
Milovic emphasized that the decision would be made public "in a timely manner," leaving room for speculation on the intricate legal proceedings.
SEC Charges and Market Impact
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had previously charged Kwon with defrauding investors in crypto schemes in February. The legal action marked a pivotal moment, linking Kwon to allegations of orchestrating a multibillion-dollar crypto asset securities fraud.
In May 2022, Terraform Labs' collapse had a significant impact on the broader cryptocurrency market, impacting major platforms like Voyager Digital, BlockFi, Celsius Network, and FTX.
