According to the Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA), Kazakhstan's AIFC Court issued injunctions on October 20 against six cryptocurrency platforms—Coinbase, HTX, BingX, Bitcoin.com, BitMart, and WEEX—prohibiting them from offering unlicensed digital-asset services within the financial centre's jurisdiction. The original judgment was issued on September 15 and amended three days later. AFSA also involved Apple and Google in restricting access through their application stores. LBank was initially included but was removed after voluntarily restricting access to its services in Kazakhstan.
Crucially, the court's injunctions are limited to the AIFC's jurisdiction rather than constituting a nationwide prohibition on the exchanges.
