Is Crypto trading in India now illegal?
On April 5th, India’s central bank RBI made the unprecedented decision to forbid any entities regulated by it from providing services to entities who deal with cryptocurrencies. In essence, this means Indian banks won’t be able to allow its customers to acquire Bitcoin in exchange for INR.
Indian cryptocurrency investors and businesses were taken by surprise with RBI’s announcement, with many left wondering if their holdings were now illegal.
The good news is that Bitcoin and other cryptos have not been made illegal. (Read: https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/04/06/no-india-not-just-banned-virtual-currencies). Banks merely have to stop dealing with exchanges, which, although inconvenient, doesn’t mean Indians should abandon trading in Crypto holdings.
