India’s Financial Intelligence Unit-India has issued non-compliance notices to 15 offshore virtual digital asset platforms and sought to remove their applications and websites from public access for serving Indian customers without meeting anti-money laundering obligations. The September 9 action, taken under Section 13 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, named Weex, Blofin, Rezorex, Bitunix, DigiFinex, Toobit, XT.com, Latoken, WOO X, Pionex, ChangeNow, SimpleSwap, FixedFloat, WhiteBIT and Guardarian. The takedown request cited Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act and 2025 amendments to IT rules, while no financial penalties were announced. The move comes ahead of a September 16 parliamentary committee hearing on regulation of virtual digital assets, after data showed about 91.5% of Indian crypto trading volume was conducted through offshore platforms as of last October. India has applied anti-money laundering and counter-financing rules to domestic and offshore crypto service providers serving Indian customers since March 2023, requiring FIU-IND registration, customer checks, record keeping and suspicious-activity reporting. Previous cases involving Binance, Bybit and Coinbase indicate that offshore platforms can restore services after completing registration. FIU-IND has warned that crypto assets and non-fungible tokens remain unregulated and risky in India despite the compliance regime.
