Kazakhstan shuts down mobile access to 6 major crypto exchanges

Summary

Kazakhstan’s AFSA plans to serve court orders on Apple and Google seeking restrictions on app-store access to six crypto platforms: BingX, Bitcoin.com, HTX, BitMart, Coinbase and WEEX. The September orders target unauthorized digital-asset services offered to users in the Astana International Financial Centre. The app stores would become bound once notified, but AFSA has not confirmed service or how restrictions would be implemented. LBank was removed from the order after blocking access in Kazakhstan, while nine other platforms voluntarily restricted their apps. The practical impact on users remains uncertain.
