Kazakhstan AIFC Regulator to Serve Injunctions on Coinbase, HTX via Apple and Google

Routing enforcement through app store operators marks a shift from targeting exchanges directly to pressuring their distribution channels, a tactic with broader reach than court orders against the platforms themselves. For users in Kazakhstan, the practical effect depends on whether Apple and Google act on the injunctions, which the court did not compel. The open question is whether this becomes a template for other regulators seeking leverage over unlicensed venues without direct jurisdiction over them.
