The fear of bitcoin announced as illegal in India began the day RBI instructed country’s banks to restrict their services to any individual or companies dealing with cryptocurrencies. However, the community found its way to trade and evolve in the crypto industry via p2p exchanges and few traders followed international exchanges.

Despite stern regulatory statements from policy-makers, few believers never stopped convincing Govt and requesting for positive statements on crypto matters in India. One such instance is #IndiaWantsCrypto campaign started by Nischal Shetty, CEO of WazirX, India’s cryptocurrency exchange.

As for now, the Govt is yet to declare its final decision on #CryptoVsRBI ban and the tentative date is declared as August 2nd, 2019.
