Month in Review — January, 2019

By February 6, 2019March 9th, 20243 minute read

Namaste Tribe! We kicked off 2019 with a bang, and this only sets the tone for the rest of the year. January was an action-packed month for us — we’ve been working tirelessly to bring new features, and fulfil our promise of listing more coins to you. February is going to be even better than January! 💣

[Ongoing] WRX milestone 1

Reach 50 BTC consistent daily trade volume

We were hoping that January would be the month when we cross 50 BTC every day, and finally hit our milestone. But it wasn’t the case as this month we saw a market slump with our volume going below 40 BTC between 18th — 24th January.

Tribe, let’s — together —hit our milestone, and here are a few things you can do to help us make it happen:

  1. Use your referral link and invite everyone to sign up on WazirX. In return, you can earn 50% of their trading fee as a reward for a lifetime!

Something to add

Last month, though the crypto matter was adjourned again, we did see a silver lining! Bitcoin News reported that our Finance Ministry had invited Nishith Desai Associates representing IAMAI to present their suggestions for crypto regulation. I’m confident that our government will take a progressive stand, and bring in positive regulations very soon. Every week, we hear of more and more countries (Iran being the latest) regulating crypto, and our government will ensure that the Indian youth won’t be left behind in this global phenomenon!

It’s also been 98 days since I started with my #IndiaWantsCrypto campaign on Twitter, and you can check it out here. I request you all to share it with your friends, family, news publications, and authorities, and help them understand why India wants crypto! Let’s make our voices heard!

Jai Hind 🇮🇳
