Is there another source for this? The website posted also has an article about UFOs in Ukraine: https://www.asiamarkets.com/russia-shoots-ufo/ https://www.asiamarkets.com/russia-shoots-ufo/ Edit: Searching around, I cannot find another source, so take this news with a grain of salt. Second edit: There are a bunch of screen shots on Twitter saying that Binance's specific payments processor has stopped SWIFT payments for less than 100k USD, but other normal currencies are fine. Seems to me to be far more nuanced than the OP link suggests, especially as the article cuts the Binance email short.

Binance reportedly sent emails to their customers saying they've been cut off from SWIFT.

  Yes, but since Binance routinely lies about things, that doesn't mean much.

    What does Binance routinely lie about?

      Its assets. They claim to own so much commercial paper that they would be one of the top owners of the class, yet no one who sells paper for a living has heard of them. The kinds of audits it has had. The amount of regular money it has in the banks. And even lying so badly that basic fourth-grade math says that month-to-month reports from binance cannot be truth.[1] [1] https://www.kalzumeus.com/2022/11/11/tether-required-recapitalization-again/ https://www.kalzumeus.com/2022/11/11/tether-required-recapit...

        Binance doesn’t have anything to do with Tether, you’re probably mixing them up with Bitfinex, another crypto exchange.

In fairness, and to my surprise, they are using "UFO" in a totally correct manner for that headline: > However, military experts say it’s likely the unidentified object was either an advanced military drone or a hypersonic missile.

  Fair, thanks for pointing that out. Having looked around for other info on Binance being cut from SWIFT, both articles on that website seem to me to be "technically true, but written to be misleading".
