Important Changes for Ukrainian Cryptocurrency Exchange Users
The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, has introduced a number of restrictions for Ukrainian users that will take effect from December 29, 2025. In particular, the platform is temporarily suspending direct cash withdrawals to bank cards.
Services that will be limited:
- Direct withdrawals to VISA/MasterCard cards
- Automatic recurring cryptocurrency purchases
- Limit orders for buying crypto assets with fiat money
What remains available:
- Account replenishment via VISA/MasterCard cards
- Apple Pay and Google Pay for deposits
- SWIFT transfers for depositing and withdrawing funds
- P2P trading
The Zen.com payment service expects full launch of deposits and withdrawals only from January 6, 2026. Users who urgently need to withdraw funds are recommended to use SWIFT transfers or P2P trading.
Binance emphasizes that these changes are not related to the NBU and do not affect the platform's core functionality for Ukrainian users.
