Recent news is going viral on the internet of the Crypto platforms banned due to the insecurity and illegal activity tracked to these platforms.

Binance and Kucoin, The Indian government sent the notice to these platforms because they had seen their invalid actions. They got a notice because these companies didn’t follow the rules about signing up and paying taxes in the area. So, the Finance Ministry told the Information Technology Ministry to stop those websites by blocking their URLs.

The Indian Finance Ministry’s unit, known as the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), has given a warning to two crypto exchanges located outside the country. They are being asked to explain why they have yet to follow the rules about preventing illegal money activities in India.

The FIU has also requested the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to stop people in India from accessing these exchanges by blocking their website addresses. This action is taken because these exchanges are suspected of not following the laws in India that aim to stop illegal money activities.
