The European Union has toughened restrictions on crypto payments from Russian accounts, wallets or other holding services to European ones.

In the eighth sanctions package against Russia since its invasion of Ukraine in February, the bloc removed the cap of €10,000 which was established in April to a prohibition “irrespective of the amount of the wallet.”

The EU’s new sanctions also include import bans totalling up to €7 billion in an attempt to restrain Russia’s war, and lay the groundwork for implementing an oil price cap.

Policymakers in the European institutions pushed for implementing more severe sanctions on Russia in response to the results of the “sham referenda” conducted in the occupied Ukrainian regions of  Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia – which MEPs called “null and void.”
