BlockBeats News: On January 12, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of India released new guidelines that tightened user registration rules for cryptocurrency platforms. The new regulations require regulated cryptocurrency trading platforms to verify user identity through real-time selfies and geolocation verification. Real-time selfie photos can track user eye and head movements to prevent bypassing KYC verification processes using AI deepfake technology.
Additionally, Indian trading platforms must collect geolocation and IP address information, as well as account creation timestamps during account creation. Users are now required to submit additional government-issued photo identification documents to trading platforms and verify their email addresses and phone numbers in order to create accounts on cryptocurrency trading platforms.
