The United Kingdom sanctioned three crypto services after linking TokenSpot to more than $950 million in transfers involving sanctioned platforms and a Kremlin-backed network.

The measures target Cryptomus, Heleket and TokenSpot as part of a UK action against Russia-related entities suspected of evading sanctions.

The UK said TokenSpot transferred more than $950 million to Grinex and Garantex, both sanctioned exchanges, as well as the A7 network, which the UK described as backed by the Kremlin.
