FIU India and the World of Crypto Compliance

When working with FIU India, the Financial Intelligence Unit of India that monitors money‑laundering risks and enforces AML rules across the crypto sector. Also known as Financial Intelligence Unit – India, it acts as the national watchdog for suspicious transaction reporting, sanction screening and compliance guidance for exchanges and traders alike.

One of the biggest forces shaping FIU India’s policies is the OFAC sanctions, U.S. Treasury measures that block access to crypto services for designated countries and individuals. FIU India incorporates those measures into its own AML framework, meaning Indian exchanges must run OFAC screening before allowing deposits or withdrawals. This creates a direct link: FIU India enforces OFAC‑driven watchlists to curb illicit flow. Another core pillar is crypto exchange compliance, the set of KYC, transaction monitoring and reporting standards that platforms must meet to stay licensed in India. Exchanges like ZG.com or Nominex, featured in our article collection, illustrate how compliance checks are built into onboarding, trade execution and fund‑movement processes. Finally, blockchain analytics, tools that trace token movements, identify risky addresses and support suspicious activity reports, empower FIU India to act on real‑time data rather than waiting for manual alerts. Together, these entities form a network: FIU India ↔ OFAC sanctions → exchange compliance ← blockchain analytics.

Below you’ll find a curated set of articles that show how these rules play out in practice.
