Kazakhstan court bars Coinbase and five others from unlicensed crypto services in Astana International Financial Centre
Kazakhstan’s Astana Financial Services Authority (AFSA) has secured court injunctions against six cryptocurrency platforms operating without authorization in the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC), CoinDesk reports.
The restrictions affect Coinbase, BingX, Bitcoin.com, Huobi Global (HTX), BitMart and WEEX, prohibiting them from offering or marketing unlicensed digital asset services within the financial centre.
In a September 15 judgment, Justice Sir Stephen Richards clarified that the restrictions apply only to the AIFC and users located there, rather than constituting a nationwide ban.
The orders also involve Apple and Google as app-store operators, although the court declined to issue separate injunctions against them.
Another platform, LBank, was removed from the proceedings after addressing regulatory concerns.
AFSA said its enforcement campaign began in 2025 with warnings to more than 20 cryptocurrency platforms, followed by legal proceedings in early 2026.
