Poloniex, a popular cryptocurrency exchange had updated its user agreement on October 18th 2018. This agreement is effective immediately for all users signing after October 18th 2018, but if you’re an old user, this user agreement will be effective on November 18th 2018.

The new user agreement says that Poloniex will not be accessible to anyone who have their registered address in China, Germany, Pakistan, the U.S. states of New Hampshire, New York or Washington, Vietnam or any other Restricted Territories as defined in Section 37.

Section 37 includes Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria or any other country to which the United States, the United Kingdom or the European Union embargoes goods or imposes similar sanctions. Also, you are not supposed to use Poloniex if you are a member of any sanctions list or equivalent maintained by the United States government, the United Kingdom government or by the European Union (“Restricted Persons”) or you intend to transact with any Restricted Territories or Restricted Persons.

We have no clue what will happen to users who have their registered addresses in those countries. If you live in them, move your funds to binance, kucoin, bittrex or wallet of your choice.
