Binance Fined $2.25M By India's Financial Intelligence Unit For Anti-Money Laundering Violations
India's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has levied a fine of 188.2 million rupees ($2.25 million) on Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, for violating local anti-money laundering regulations.
印度金融情報單位（FIU）對全球最大的加密貨幣交易所幣安處以1.882億盧比（225萬美元）的罰款，罪名是違反了當地的反洗錢法規。
What Happened: The Indian government mandates that virtual digital asset service providers, including crypto exchanges, must register with the FIU as reporting entities and adhere to its stringent anti-money laundering policies.
發生了什麼：印度政府要求包括加密貨幣交易所在內的虛擬數字資產服務提供商必須向FIU註冊爲報告實體，並遵守其嚴格的反洗錢政策。
Benzinga has reached out to Binance for a comment.
Benzinga已經聯繫幣安進行評論。
In an effort to resume operations in India, Binance registered with the FIU in May, following the watchdog's issuance of show-cause notices to nine offshore exchanges that were found to be operating without compliance with local laws.
爲了在印度恢復業務，幣安於5月向FIU註冊，此前該監管機構向9家發現其沒有遵守當地法律的離岸交易所發出了show-cause通知。
The FIU also requested the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to block online access to these non-compliant exchanges.
FIU還要求印度電子和信息技術部屏蔽這些不合規交易所的在線訪問。
In a similar situation, the crypto exchange KuCoin registered with the FIU in March but incurred a smaller penalty of 3.45 million rupees.
在一個類似的情況下，加密貨幣交易所KuCoin於三月向FIU註冊，但只受到了345萬盧比的輕微罰款。

Why It Matters: The scrutiny on Binance is not limited to India.
對幣安的審查不僅限於印度。
In May, Canada's anti-money laundering agency imposed a fine of $4.38 million on the exchange for breaches of its anti-money laundering regulations.
在五月，加拿大反洗黑錢機構對該交易所實施了438萬美元的罰款，理由是違反了其反洗錢法規。
Additionally, Binance's former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, faced legal repercussions in the United States.
此外，幣安的前CEO趙長鵬還面臨着美國的法律後果。
In May, U.S. District Judge Richard Jones in Seattle sentenced Zhao to four months in prison after he pleaded guilty to violating the country's anti-money laundering laws.
在五月，西雅圖的聯邦法官理查德·瓊斯（Richard Jones）判處趙長鵬入獄四個月，因爲他承認違反了該國的反洗錢法。
As the global regulatory landscape tightens around cryptocurrency operations, these developments highlight the increasing scrutiny and enforcement actions against major crypto exchanges.
隨着全球監管機構加強對加密貨幣運營的監管，這些動態突顯了針對主要加密貨幣交易所的日益嚴格的監督和執法行動。
What's Next: This trend and its implications for the future of digital assets will be a focal point at Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19, offering critical insights into the evolving regulatory environment and its impact on the crypto market.
