Belarus has restricted access to several major cryptocurrency exchange websites, including Bybit, Bitget, and OKX, as reported by the local news portal Onliner. The decision was made by the country's Ministry of Information, and the website addresses have been added to a restricted access list maintained by the state telecommunications supervision enterprise, BelGIE. Attempts to access Bybit via local internet service providers result in a block page citing the Ministry's decision based on the Law on Mass Media.

Notably, the websites of other major exchanges, including Binance, Kucoin, and MEXC, remained accessible for viewing and login as of 22:30 Moscow time. The report also highlights that the restriction lists do not include the addresses for Binance and Kucoin.

This move follows a recent announcement from the end of November that Belarus has introduced centralized registers of crypto wallets used for obtaining illicit income, as stated by the Chairman of the State Control Committee, Vasily Gerasimov.
