In November 2023, the US Treasury added SPB Exchange to the sanctions list, after which it suspended trading in American securities. Two weeks later, a bankruptcy filing for SPBSE appeared in the files of the Moscow Arbitration Court. After that, its shares fell by 34%. The exchange responded with a denial; the source of the statement is unknown. The arbitration court did not accept the claim, and the Central Bank began an investigation.
