<h4><strong>This milestone makes them the first offshore crypto-related entities to gain approval from India’s anti-money laundering authority. </strong></h4> 
<p>Also, the registration comes months after both entities, along with several others, were banned for allegedly “operating illegally” in the country.</p> 
<h5><strong>Binance and Others Poised to Transform India’s Crypto Regulations</strong></h5> 
<p>The registration process was not without its hurdles. <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=KuCoin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KuCoin</a> paid a $41,000 penalty in a compliance settlement, while Binance’s fine is pending FIU hearing results. So, the approvals mark a pivotal moment for both exchanges, demonstrating their commitment to adhering to local regulations. They are determined to operate within the legal frameworks of the markets they serve.</p> 
<p>The <a href="https://fiuindia.gov.in/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIU-IND</a>, operating under India’s Finance Ministry, plays a crucial role in combating money laundering and terrorism financing. By registering with FIU-IND, Binance and KuCoin have met India’s stringent regulatory standards. This recognition paves the way for their legitimate operation in one of the world’s most populous markets.</p>

<p>Also, the backstory to this development includes a broader crackdown by Indian regulators at the end of the previous year. Over nine major <a href="https://www.altcoinbuzz.io/?s=exchanges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exchanges</a>, including Huobi, Kraken, and Bitfinex, were banned. The bans targeted entities operating without proper authorization.</p> 
<p>The FIU-IND’s approval of Binance and KuCoin is significant given their global market influence. So, Binance and KuCoin aim to expand in India, ensuring compliance with local regulations.</p>
