Orca Finance, Solana’s largest decentralized exchange, added geo-blocking for U.K. users. The restrictions against U.K. users appear to be in response to the FCA’s new promotions rules, which restrict the marketing of crypto-related products or services.
Centralized crypto businesses like Bybit and Paypal have withdrawn from the U.K. market whilst Binance has temporarily paused new U.K. sign-ups following the release of the FCA’s promotions rule. Luno also blocked some customers from investing in crypto.
But geo-restrictions are rare for decentralized protocols, most of which do not require know-your-customer (KYC) checks.
