In the latest turn of global governments against the crypto industry, India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) announced Thursday that it has requested the effective ban of nine crypto exchanges within the country, including Binance and Kraken.
The agency, which regulates suspicious financial activity, issued a statement stating that the exchanges are operating illegally in India by failing to both register with the FIU and comply with national anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing regulations.
The FIU has thus requested that the websites of these exchanges—Binance, Kucoin, Huobi, Kraken, Gate.io, Bittrex, Bitsamp, MEXC Global, and Bitfinex—be blocked in India by the country’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, until further notice.
“Virtual Digital Asset Service Providers (VDA SPs) operating in India… are required to be registered with FIU IND as Reporting Entity and comply with the set of obligations as mandated under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002,” the FIU said.
Binance will exit the U.S. market and pay $4.3 billion—one of the largest corporate penalties in U.S. history—to settle anti-money laundering and sanctions violations, the Department of Justice today said. The exit and penalty are the result of a years-long criminal investigation into the company and its leadership. CEO Changpeng Zhao has also stepped down after pleading guilty to anti-money laundering violations and agreed to pay a separate $50 million fine. The settlement also prohibits Zhao f...
So far, 31 such virtual digital asset service providers have registered with the FIU, the agency said. However, a “substantial” number of Indian users opted to use exchanges that were unregistered, prompting the latest regulatory action.
The development marks the latest action against major crypto exchanges by national governments. Last month, the U.S. government imposed a $4.3 billion fine against Binance for failing to comply with anti-money laundering laws, and got the exchange to agree to cease operations in the country.
As India figures out its regulatory approach to the crypto industry, one thing is clear to Shardeum co-founder Nischal Shetty: “If you're a high-frequency trader, you can't afford to lose a percentage every time you sell,” he told Decrypt's Andre Beganski at Messari Mainnet in New York. “That's something that's caused a lot of issues.”
Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao, agreed as part of the historic settlement to step down as the company’s CEO and plead guilty to criminal violations of U.S. anti-money laundering laws. Zhao is currently banned from leaving the United States; he faces sentencing in February.

Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s right-wing Reform Party, is going all-in on crypto—and used an appearance at Bitcoin 2025 this week to showcase his coalition’s new emphasis. Onstage Thursday at the annual Bitcoin conference, which this year took place in Las Vegas, Farage pledged to prioritize crypto should he become prime minister after the UK’s next general election in 2029. During the appearance, the British politician waved a printed copy of a new piece of legislation, dubbed the Cry...
In a crackdown targeting the infrastructure behind so-called “pig butchering”, the U.S. Treasury has sanctioned a Philippine-based tech company and its administrator for aiding the cryptocurrency scams that defrauded Americans of more than $200 million. Lawmakers on Thursday accused Funnull Technology Inc. of facilitating several of these schemes by providing cybercriminals with infrastructure to host fraudulent websites. The Treasury Department also said Liu Lizhi, a Chinese national and admini...
The SEC issued new guidance on crypto staking, confirming Thursday that most of the common staking activities aren't subject to federal securities regulations, as long as specific conditions are met. Protocol staking involves locking crypto assets that are "intrinsically linked to the programmatic functioning of a public, permissionless network," the regulator wrote in its latest guidance on Thursday. The same crypto assets could also be used "to participate in and/or earned for participating in...
