Methods such as wallet rotation were employed to mitigate the impact of these sanctions. ## TRM Labs' Report A report published by TRM Labs revealed that HTX used wallet rotation to evade sanctions. This method allowed the exchange to quickly replace blocked wallets with new ones. ## Reason for Sanctions The UK imposed sanctions on HTX in 2026, citing the exchange's violation of international sanctions against Russia. HTX labeled this decision as 'absurd.' ## Impact on Users Due to the sanctions, wallets interacting with HTX were marked as risky. This situation negatively affected the platform's ordinary users. ## Proposal for Behavioral Analysis TRM Labs recommended using behavioral analysis to evade sanctions. This method aims to monitor the rotating infrastructure as a whole rather than tracking individual wallets. ## HTX's Future Despite the sanctions, HTX continues its operations. However, such measures are expected to shape the future strategies of crypto exchanges. ## Sources covering this story - https://incrypted.com/eksperty-htx-perestroyla-ynfrastrukturu-dlja-obhoda-sanktsyj/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
