India FIU Demands Crypto OTC Data Above $10,000 From Major Exchanges

India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the country’s anti–money laundering authority, has directed three leading cryptocurrency exchanges to submit detailed data on over-the-counter (OTC) transactions exceeding $10,000. Specifically, the directive focuses on identifying the real beneficial owners behind private companies, intermediaries, and other entities involved in such trades.

Regulators have also instructed exchanges to trace and retain all relevant records from January 2026 onward, as part of efforts to address transparency gaps in large crypto transactions conducted outside public exchange order books.
