However now, the blockchain company Animoca said it will cut services for Russian customers which came expected after the Invasion of Ukraine. Speaking of the matter was Yat Siu who is the co-founder of Animoca:
“The legal advice we’ve been receiving is we now have to impose some restrictions. It’s a sanctioned country on par with North Korea. The moment we end up doing business in those areas, we might ourselves become financially excluded from the financial system.”
The company will also stop selling shares to Russian investors in addition to the decision to stop servicing the users. The decision will affect all subsidies like Gamee and Lympo but the co-founder said that the number of Russian users is not so big to have a huge impact on the results of the company.
