✅Binance still serving Russians while seeking clarity on EU crypto sanctions
In the weeks following new sanctions from the European Union, Binance has kept its doors open for non-sanctioned Russian nationals, but that does not mean that the firm isn't complying with EU sanctions, according to Binance’s newly-appointed sanctions executive.
“There is still an active war going on in the region," he noted, adding that Binance continues to actively monitor the situation. Binance has more than 500 compliance executives globally, and about half of them are directly involved in sanctions control, including Anti-Money Laundering, name screening and other procedures.

❌Crypto providers would be forbidden from touching the likes of monero or dash under proposed government amendments to anti-money laundering rules.
The European Union could ban banks and crypto providers from dealing in privacy-enhancing coins such as zcash, monero and dash under a leaked draft of a money laundering bill obtained by CoinDesk.
The Anti-Money Laundering Regulation was proposed in July 2021 by the European Commission as part of a package that would also forbid large cash transactions and create a new anti-money laundering agency, AMLA, to vet practices at large financial institutions.

❄️Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin Gives Advice on Navigating Crypto Winter
During a recent interview with Sumiko Tan, executive editor of The Straits Times, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin advised cryptocurrency market participants to invest in “simpler stuff.” The Canadian programmer urged cryptocurrency investors not to trust “individual hotshots.” Buterin claims that he doesn’t track the price of Ether very closely. He adds that he doesn’t speculate on crypto since he prefers to “buy and hold things.”
When asked about whether or not Buterin is concerned about Ethereum being potentially used for nefarious purposes, the Canadian programmer replied that there have been multiple decentralized finance (DeFi) hacks. At the same time, he praised the Ethereum community for being good at supporting good things and opposing bad things.

👀Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin: "Something Important Is About to Happen"
Buterin tweeted that he had heard "through the grapevine" that "something important" was about to happen without going into detail. "Please recognize the fact that my elite social connections to people who are early to know things make me cool, and please help me validate my self-image of coolness," the Canadian programmer added.
Buterin's veiled warning comes after a doom-laden tweet posted by prominent venture capitalist Paul Graham, in which the latter said that the cryptocurrency economy was about to experience "a systemic risk" based on information that he had heard from a trustworthy person. "I don't know anything concrete, but if I were exposed, I would be concerned," he said.
