EU sanctions HTX over Russia links

The European Union broadened its Russia sanctions to include HTX, the Justin Sun‑linked crypto exchange formerly known as Huobi, labeling it among 18 crypto-related entities suspected of helping Moscow evade restrictions. The package imposes transaction bans rather than asset freezes, extends restrictions to 14 third-country crypto platforms, and signals potential future full bans on foreign crypto services that enable evasion, with the UK having moved earlier in May.
