Belarus blocks major crypto exchanges under Information Ministry order on 11 December 2025

On 11 December 2025, Belarus restricted access to several major crypto exchanges under an order from the Ministry of Information that was logged in the BelGIE registry. Users reported ISP-level blocks affecting Bybit, Bitget and OKX, while KuCoin and MEXC briefly became accessible again and Binance stayed online. Local media warned that using VPNs to bypass country-level restrictions could prompt exchanges to freeze accounts.
