IndianDespite numerous claims from various sources that India might outrightly ban crypto, the Indian Government has just confirmed otherwise. In fact, before now, there has been an air of anxiety in the Crypto industry as everyone had been eagerly waiting on a positive regulation, only to find out, that the wordings of the crypto bill was still the same as that of last year, repeating the plans of the government to ban private crypto.

4. Crypto in India will be regulated by Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI).
5. The proposed virtual currency of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has not been clubbed with the new bill.
6. An ultimatum will be given for those who have crypto assets, to bring them under regulated crypto exchange platforms.
