 <p>Coinbase barely offers any services in Russia as the U.S.-based crypto exchange made it clear in a blog post on Mar. 6, 2022, that it “fully supports” sanctions imposed “in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.” At the time, it also said it had blocked over 25,000 addresses related to Russian individuals or entities it believes to be “engaging in illicit activity.”</p>
