Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trade volume, has become a victim of an ongoing internet crackdown in Venezuela. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 Estimados Binancians, 
 Al igual que varios sitios web de empresas de diferentes segmentos en Venezuela, incluidas las redes sociales, las páginas de Binance han estado enfrentando restricciones de acceso. 
 Queremos asegurarles que sus fondos están SAFU bajo nuestros robustos…

Venezuelans turn to VPNs to access Binance’s web pages, which have been restricted in the ongoing digital suppression. 
The reported digital suppression by Venezuela’s government spiked during and after the country’s July 28 presidential elections, which many, including Elon Musk, claimed was marred with manipulation and fraud. 
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-binance-web-pages-restricted-span">Binance Web Pages Restricted</h3> 
In an official <a href="https://x.com/BinanceLATAM/status/1822300144718487897">statement</a> on X, Binance’s division of Latin America confirmed the blockade news, noting that it was monitoring the situation to address it in the best and quickest way possible. 
“Like several websites of companies from different segments in Venezuela, including social networks, Binance pages have been facing access restrictions.”&nbsp; 
The post read, “We want to assure you that your funds are SAFU under our robust security protocols.” 
The development comes as Venezuelans increasingly depend on crypto, thanks to the country’s long-standing economic crisis, which saw the bolivar depreciate by a third compared with the US dollar last year. 
In addition to facilitating domestic uses, crypto plays an integral role in Venezuela’s cross-border transactions. Bloomberg estimated that 9% of the $5 billion sent by Venezuelan migrants back to the country in 2023 was in digital assets. 
The restrictions have led Venezuelans to resort to virtual private network (VPN) services to maintain access to Binance via web pages.&nbsp; 
Ernesto Contreras, a prominent figure in Venezuela’s crypto scene advised users to explore alternative local exchanges or switch to self-custody to avoid interruptions by exchange outages. 
Meanwhile, Venezuela’s contested President Nicolas Maduro reportedly signed a resolution to <a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/maduro-orders-a-ban-on-x-platform-in-venezuela-for-10-days-after-feud-with-elon-musk/">restrict</a> access to Elon Musk’s X platform for 10 days.
