A decision taken by way of prevention
In 2018, the RBI had urged all the country’s banks to stop providing services to crypto-platforms as well as to the business of crypto-currencies. Result, many crypto-exchanges and companies have had to put their key under the door, or cease to provide their services to local customers as a result of financing problems.
Feeling aggrieved by this decision, many companies have pleaded their case before the supreme Court in rétorquant that the RBI has taken a decision not in accordance with the constitution of the country.
The RBI, meanwhile, defends his point of view, claiming that she had not prohibited the trading of crypto-currencies, but had only taken these measures to protect the financial institutions against the risks associated with this asset class.
Malta and Japan are the references on the subject
