In response to increasing cyber threats, the Indian government has made cybersecurity audits mandatory for **all** crypto exchanges, custodians, and intermediaries. This directive aims to strengthen operational security, protect user assets, and reduce risk of fraud. Platforms will be assessed for their readiness to follow security protocols and ability to handle threats. The move comes amid public concern after high-profile hacks globally and reflects regulators’ push towards safer and more transparent crypto infrastructure in India.
