OpenSea's NFT Marketplace Blocks Cuban Artists

OpenSea's NFT marketplace removes accounts of Cuban artists and NFT collectors due to sanctions. This is reported by Artnet News with reference to a representative of the site. Previously, the sanctions regime applied only to users from Venezuela, Iran and Syria, but now the restrictions also apply to Cuba, the newspaper notes. At the same time, there is no clear list of countries under restrictions in the OpenSea terms of use.

"We comply with the US sanctions law. Our terms of service explicitly prohibit sanctioned persons, persons in sanctioned jurisdictions, or services from using OpenSea," the representatives of the platform said.
