Belarus Ends Ad Ban on Crypto Exchange Websites

Published at 2025-12-13 12:00:08

Belarusian authorities have reinstated access to several prominent cryptocurrency exchange websites that were recently restricted for alleged violations related to advertising. Users reported that platforms such as Bybit and Bitget became accessible again just days after their domains were placed on a government blacklist of prohibited online resources. Officials had pointed to advertising activity as the trigger for the temporary blocks. The quick reversal restores market access for local users and suggests a rapid regulatory recalibration or behind-the-scenes remediation by the exchanges. While the move limits immediate disruption to trading and local liquidity, it highlights ongoing uncertainty around advertising and compliance rules in Belarus. Market participants and regional observers will be watching for any formal guidance or further enforcement actions that clarify what crypto firms must change to avoid future blocks.
