Kazakhstan Court Imposes Restrictions on Six Digital Asset Platforms
Current overview (not historical)
A court in Astana’s International Financial Centre has ordered six digital asset platforms—Coinbase, BingX, and four others—to halt unlicensed services within its jurisdiction. The ruling also directs major app‑store operators such as Google and Apple to block geographic access to these platforms. The Kazakhstan Financial Services Authority (AFSA) cited the lack of licensed safeguards, including asset protection, disclosure, complaint handling, and dispute resolution, as the basis for the restrictions. AFSA had previously warned over 20 platforms in 2025; nine voluntarily limited access, while seven announced plans to apply for licenses.
