India’s financial crimes watchdog has conducted raids on two major cryptocurrency exchanges, CoinDCX and Delta, amid allegations of illegal cross-border trading activities, according to CoinDesk. The regulatory move highlights increased scrutiny over crypto operations in India, particularly those involving international transactions.

The raids come as part of broader efforts by Indian authorities to clamp down on illicit financial activities in the rapidly growing crypto sector. Both CoinDCX and Delta are prominent players in the Indian crypto market, making the investigation significant for the industry.

For Japanese investors and market participants, this development underscores the evolving regulatory landscape in Asia’s crypto markets and the potential risks associated with cross-border digital asset trading.
