KuCoin ends services in Russia and Belarus

On 29 October 2026, KuCoin announced the immediate discontinuation of all services for users in Russia and Belarus. Affected accounts will receive individual deadlines for closing positions and withdrawing assets. No common withdrawal deadline has been announced.

KuCoin says users without a notification do not need to take action yet, but its terms and restrictions still apply.

Alternatives for different needs

  • Bybit permits RUB transactions in its general fiat service for Russian and Belarusian KYC accounts. This does not establish access to all trading products.
  • Dzengi supports BYN deposits through ERIP for Belarus residents. Its products include tokenised assets with terms that differ from buying cryptocurrency outright. Russian and US citizens or residents are excluded.

Confirm eligibility for the intended operation with the destination platform before transferring assets.
