The reports of ‘Ban’ Squashed 

Recently, a report was circulated which mentioned that the Indian government was planning to ban the cryptocurrencies. In fact, the absence of ‘Crypto Bill’ had surfaced before but later a report mentioned that the bill would be introduced.

The move was heavily criticized by the whole crypto world by condemning the move. Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse tweeted expressing his disappointment. Whereas a Bitcoin Analyst, Lark Davis also showcased his anger through his tweet.

However, the rumour was short-lived as one of the members of Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliament dismissed the claim. When questioned about the bill, he responded that he has not heard of the bill.

“It will be a madness if they do,” said Subramanian Swamy.

Surge in Trading Volume by more than 50 percent
