Binance Russia News: Top crypto exchange Binance has now closed more gaps for Russia based users to exchange other fiat currency amid restrictions on it amid the Ukraine war.

Silvergate Capital, which was until recently a leading institution offering support to crypto players, announced voluntary liquidation as it faced the brunt of the FTX collapse.
