New Offers for Crypto Users After India Lifts Ban from Cryptocurrency
In the morning of 4th March 2020, Supreme Court of India passed a judgement in the favour of petitions by cryptocurrency exchanges. This petition was against the decision made in April 2018 by Reserve Bank of India which put a ban on financial firms from providing banking services to the digital currency exchanges.
IMAI (Internet and Mobile Association of India) immediately signed the petition after the decision of RBI in 2018, but a clear and final decision was announced on Wednesday after several rounds of hearings.
Founder and CEO of exchange aggregator CoinDCX, Sumit Gupta said that the upliftment of ban on crypto trading is going to bring new opportunities for India in the whole investment world and its economy.
This is a landmark judgement passed by the country’s highest court to lift the ban from virtual currencies. The Supreme Court said that the order of Reserve Bank of India was unconstitutional. So now, India can finally go back to dealing with digital currencies.
