The practical risk is loss of public app and website access, but the release does not say that every service is already blocked or that customer accounts, balances or withdrawals have been frozen.<\/p>\n<p>FIU-IND named both the consumer-facing brands and their associated entities. The first six are Weex, paired with Weex International Exchange LTD; Blofin with BLF Global Limited; Rezorex with RezorEx; Bitunix with Bitunix LLC; DigiFinex with DigiFinex Ltd; and Toobit with Hopeful Technology Co. Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>The remainder are XT.com, paired in the release with Fibtc Ltd \/ XT TECHNICAL PTE. LTD.; Latoken with LAtrade Ltd; WOO X with Wootech Limited; Pionex with Marketa Trading Inc.; ChangeNow with CHN Group LLC; SimpleSwap with SimpleSwap LTD; Fixedfloat with FFGX Group LLC; WhiteBIT with UAB Clear White Technologies; and Guardarian with FinSeven CZ.<\/p>\n<p>FIU-IND said the takedown notices were issued under India\u2019s information technology law and intermediary rules. The order seeks action against public apps and URLs; it does not by itself show that app stores or internet providers have completed the removals.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-15975e3d-faf2-4390-9c6d-1793a9c74ba0.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-561389\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-15975e3d-faf2-4390-9c6d-1793a9c74ba0.png\" alt=\"Infographic showing FIU-IND notices to 15 crypto providers, app and URL takedown notices, and that blocking was not yet confirmed as of Sept. 9, 2026.\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-15975e3d-faf2-4390-9c6d-1793a9c74ba0.png 1672w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-15975e3d-faf2-4390-9c6d-1793a9c74ba0-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-15975e3d-faf2-4390-9c6d-1793a9c74ba0-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-15975e3d-faf2-4390-9c6d-1793a9c74ba0-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-15975e3d-faf2-4390-9c6d-1793a9c74ba0-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-15975e3d-faf2-4390-9c6d-1793a9c74ba0-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/exec-15975e3d-faf2-4390-9c6d-1793a9c74ba0-1200x675.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n\n<div class=\"cs-article-embed\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/indian-watchdog-issues-issues-compliance-notices-to-9-crypto-exchanges-seeks-to-block-urls\/\" class=\"cs-article-embed__link\">\n        <div class=\"cs-article-embed__body\">\n            <span class=\"cs-article-embed__related-reading\">Related Reading<\/span>\n            <h3 class=\"cs-article-embed__title\">Indian watchdog issues issues compliance notices to 9 crypto exchanges, seeks to block URLs<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"cs-article-embed__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n            <i class=\"fa-light fa-arrow-up-right\"><\/i>\n        <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>India brought virtual-asset service providers within its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing framework in March 2023.
