# AIFC Court Cites Compliance Costs in Injunctions Against Six Platforms By Riza Dagoc Canonical URL: https://www.tokenpost.com/news/regulation/36358 Published: 2026-10-21T05:03:31.000Z Updated: 2026-10-21T05:03:31.000Z Section: Regulation > The Sept. 15 judgment covers operators of Coinbase, BingX, Bitcoin.com, Huobi Global (HTX), BitMart and WEEX, including distribution of related apps within the financial center. The Astana International Financial Centre court said licensed crypto firms face costs for financial-crime controls, customer checks and regulatory oversight, citing that burden as part of its rationale for injunctions against operators of six platforms. The court said unauthorized services weaken the center’s regulatory framework and put licensed competitors at a disadvantage. Firms with authorization must pay for anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorist-financing controls, customer due diligence and supervision. The Sept. 15 judgment bars operators of Coinbase, BingX, Bitcoin.com, Huobi Global (HTX), BitMart and WEEX from providing or promoting digital-asset services without authorization inside the center. It also covers distribution of related mobile apps. The restrictions apply within the AIFC and to users located there, rather than throughout Kazakhstan. The [earlier coverage of the Sept. 15 injunction]() detailed the order and the platforms it covered. The court removed LBank from the case on Sept. 18 after its operator restricted access in Kazakhstan. The amended order provides that Google and Apple become bound by the judgment after they receive notice. ## Links in this article - [earlier coverage of the Sept. 15 injunction](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/regulation/35853)
