Kazakhstani court issues injunction against six unlicensed platforms, including Coinbase and BingX

Cointelegraph reported that on September 15, the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) Court in Kazakhstan issued an injunction against seven unlicensed cryptocurrency platforms—including BingX, Bitcoin.com, Huobi Global (HTX), BitMart, Coinbase, LBank, and WEEX—prohibiting them from offering digital asset services within Kazakhstan. The ban extends to app store distribution. Subsequently, on September 18, the court issued a corrected order removing LBank from the injunction list after its operator voluntarily blocked access for users in Kazakhstan. The ruling was issued in response to a lawsuit filed by the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA), which alleged that the listed platforms were conducting digital asset-related activities without proper authorization. AFSA provided an update on the case’s progress this Tuesday. Both Google Play and Apple’s App Store have also been directed to enforce access restrictions.
