Binance will remove P2P trading pairs such as USDT/RUB, BTC/RUB, FDUSD/RUB, BNB/RUB, ETH/RUB, BUSD/RUB and RUB/RUB. This is part of its exit from Russia and selling the business to CommEX. However, the off-boarding process will take up to one year.
Users can continue P2P trading with Russian Ruble (RUB) free of charge on CommEX. Also, users may withdraw their Russian rubles through Binance’s fiat partners before the deadline provided by the crypto exchange or convert their RUB into crypto via Binance Convert. This can be done after connecting Binance account after registering on CommEX.
In November, Binance started removing major crypto in RUB pairs such as ETH, BNB, XRP, ADA, SOL, MATIC, LTC, DOT, and BUSD. In addition, the exchange removes ALGO/RUB, ARB/RUB, ARKM/RUB, ARPA/RUB, NEAR/RUB, and WLD/RUB pairs.
