Astana Financial Services Authority
Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) regulates digital-asset service providers outside the Astana International Financial Centre. On 15 Sept 2026 the Astana International Financial Centre court issued injunctions prohibiting six unlicensed platforms—BingX, Bitcoin.com, Huobi Global, BitMart, Coinbase and WEEX—from operating in its jurisdiction and extended access restrictions to app‑store operators Google and Apple. AFSA warned over 20 platforms about AIFC rules in 2025; nine voluntarily limited app access and the regulator withdrew claims against them. The injunctions remain in effect for the remaining six platforms; AFSA is seeking licensing for them. LBank was removed from the order after resolving AFSA concerns. The court declined to issue a separate injunction against Google, saying AFSA should first discuss necessary steps with the firm.
