Crypto exchange OKX ends services in India due to regulatory hurdles, asks users to withdraw funds

Seychelles-based cryptocurrency exchange OKX has suspended its services in India due to regulatory challenges and non-compliance with anti-money laundering laws. The company's app was pulled from major app stores in the country, prompting the exchange to advise Indian users to close their accounts and withdraw funds by the end of April 2024. The move comes after the Financial Intelligence Unit of India targeted several crypto exchanges for operating without proper registration. Despite the suspension in India, OKX continues to expand globally, having secured licenses in Singapore and Dubai. OKX is currently the 18th largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume.
