India Builds “Virtual Asset Lab” to Track Offshore Crypto Platforms

Published by

India is developing a Virtual Asset Lab to detect offshore crypto exchanges operating without registration. The system will use data analytics and web surveillance tools to identify risky platforms targeting Indian users. Authorities have already blocked 85 non-compliant crypto URLs. Platforms offering services without proper KYC and AML compliance may be forced to follow Indian rules or shut down. The move comes after many traders shifted to offshore exchanges following India’s 30% crypto tax and 1% TDS introduced in 2022.
