  • Binance and KuCoin achieve FIU-IND approval, marking a milestone in Indian cryptocurrency regulation.
  • KuCoin pays $41,000 fine as Binance awaits penalty decision during compliance process.
  • The exchange’s return to India signals the growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the country’s regulatory framework.

Significant developments in the cryptocurrency industry In India, two major exchanges, Binance and Kucoin, have secured registration approval from the Financial Intelligence Unit of India (FIU-IND), marking a pivotal moment in the country’s journey towards regulatory compliance.

This comes after months of negotiations and challenges after both exchanges were banned over allegations of illegal operations.

Binance and KuCoin re-enter India after ban

The path to registration has been fraught with obstacles, as Binance and KuCoin, along with several other foreign companies, were banned in December last year for failing to comply with Indian regulations.

The ban implemented by the Indian Ministry of Finance led to the blocking of URLs and mobile applications associated with these exchanges in January 2024. However, despite these difficulties, Binance and KuCoin are supporting FIU-IND.

KuCoin was able to quickly resume operations in India by taking proactive steps, including paying a $41,000 fine. Meanwhile, Binance’s compliance process is still ongoing and the exact punishment following the FIU-IND hearing has not yet been determined. According to reports, Binance could face a fine of up to $2 million for non-compliance, highlighting the seriousness of regulatory violations in the Indian cryptocurrency market.

Has India’s perception of cryptocurrencies changed?

The approval of Binance and KuCoin marks a shift in the perception of cryptocurrency exchanges in India and adds credibility to the regulatory framework that governs the industry.

Vivek Aggarwal, Director, FIU-IND, emphasized the importance of such registration in protecting the Indian economy from financial crimes. He said the industry is waiting for legitimacy from Congress and the government, but registered entities inherently have a degree of credibility within the system.

India’s stance on cryptocurrencies has been somewhat ambiguous, with strict taxes and periodic crackdowns on foreign exchanges. However, countries pushing for a global agreement on cryptocurrency regulation within the G20 framework reflects a proactive approach to addressing regulatory issues at the international level.

However, despite these challenges, India’s cryptocurrency industry continues to advance through efforts to create a regulatory environment that balances innovation and financial security. The release of a report by the Bharat Web3 Association titled “Virtual Digital Asset Service Providers: The Path to Effective Compliance Under PMLA” reflects its commitment to strengthening compliance standards in the cryptocurrency sector.

Cryptocurrency exchanges’ compliance efforts with Indian regulations have also intensified as platforms such as Kraken, Gemini, and Gate.io have begun negotiations with regulators to resolve compliance issues. However, some exchanges, such as OKX and Bitstamp, have decided to withdraw from the Indian market entirely in response to regulatory pressure.
