Coinbase Cuts Off 25K Russian Wallets Over Allegations They''re Engaged In "Illicit Activity" Despite CEO Brian Armstrong having just the other day implored the public not to judge the company too harshly for continuing to service its accounts in Russia, Coinbase has now gone and done just the opposite: shutting down 25K wallets belonging to Russian customers due to suspicions about "illicit activity." Previously, Armstrong had vehemently insisted during a series of tweets that he wouldn''t deny anyone access to their Coinbase accounts for no good reason. Now, he''s apparently going back on his word to target a sizable portion of the company''s customers in Russia. Fortunately for their investors, this move won''t have a big impact on Coinbase''s profits: The blocked addresses represent about 0.2% of Coinbase’s 11.4 million monthly transacting users, based on 2021 data. In a company blog post, Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s chief legal officer, announced that the largest US crypto exchange had banned access for sanctioned individuals.
