Kazakhstan's Astana Financial Services Authority obtained court injunctions against BingX, Bitcoin.com, Huobi Global (HTX), BitMart, Coinbase and WEEX, barring them from offering or marketing unlicensed digital asset services and distributing related mobile apps in the Astana International Financial Centre. Per a Sept. 15 judgment by Justice Sir Stephen Richards, the orders apply only within the AIFC, not nationwide. The order binds Google and Apple as app-store operators, though no separate injunction was issued against them. LBank, initially named, was removed Sept. 18 after blocking access in Kazakhstan.
