Indian Govt Reconsiders Crypto Ban After Facing Global Backlash

There’s a celebration in the crypto streets as India finally decides to tone down its position that fueled fears of a complete crypto ban. Crypto investors in the region have welcomed the news that a new regulatory framework to facilitate crypto exchanges is currently in the works.

Revealing the news on the country’s business channel CNBC-TV18, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stated that the government will try to make sure that there’s a suitable window “for all types of experiments in the crypto world”.
