Kazakh court bars Coinbase and five others from offering unlicensed crypto services in Astana International Financial Centre

According to CoinDesk, a Kazakhstani court has issued injunctions that prevent Coinbase and five other entities from providing cryptocurrency-related services within the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) in Astana. The ruling specifically targets operations conducted inside the AIFC area only and does not apply throughout Kazakhstan.

The court’s decision focuses on compliance with licensing requirements for crypto service providers operating in the designated financial centre. No further details about the legal basis, timing beyond the date of issuance, or names of the other five entities were provided in the source material.

The injunction’s geographic scope is limited to users and activities within the AIFC premises; it does not extend to crypto service provision outside this zone in Kazakhstan. This distinction was explicitly noted in the summary information available.
