The sun of June 27, 2019, did not bring much happy news for Indian crypto investors. While the world was rejoicing the bull run in the crypto markets, another Indian exchange succumbed to the RBI’s fait lifeline “ban” on crypto exchanges.
As a crypto enthusiast in a great country like India, failures like this does sink one’s heart. The post released by Koinex that announced its closure does speak of the struggle the exchange went through.
“We have consistently been facing denials in payment services from payment gateways, bank account closures and blocking of transactions for the trading of digital assets. Even for non-crypto transactions like payment of salary, rent and purchase of equipment, our team members, service providers, and vendors have had to answer questions from their respective banks”
These are the lines which Rahul Raj, the founder of Koinex, wrote signifying the struggle that he and his team faced as they bid adieu to something which he and his team had passionately started.
The post has enough points that can bring empathy to the founders who were valiant in their fight but couldn’t survive.
From a crypto investors point of view, the news of Koinex shutting down was even scarier. Over the last 14 months, they have had their own struggles as the whole crypto environment is unclear and fearful.
And this is not the first exchange that India has seen going down to the RBI rule. Last September, India’s then-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, Zebpay, was also forced to shut down citing the RBI restrictions. This was followed by Coindelta in March 2019 and Coinome in May 2019.
