He said the last 14 months have been tough to operate a digital assets trading business in India, on account of the closure of bank accounts holding user deposits. "We took on immense financial burden to continue trading of digital assets and allow law-abiding Indians to participate in the decentralized revolution that has swept across the globe,” Raj said their operations were regularly disrupted amid delays by government agencies in clarifying the regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. The crypto exchange has been facing denials in payment services from payment gateways, bank account closures and blocking of transactions for trading of digital assets. Last year, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prohibited regulated entities, including commercial banks, payments banks and small finance banks from dealing with or providing services to facilitate trade in virtual currencies. nips: lveminl.comimarketicommocties cryptocurrency-exchange-koinex-shuls-dow-in-ndia-1961630992917 hil ana sava0r9 Ceypocuency exchange Kohno shuts down na liver HOME LATEST ‘TRENDING My READS Companies Money Markets.
