Something to add

May was an important month for the global crypto ecosystem due to Bitcoin Halving. I think this event will add greatly to the momentum for Bitcoin. It will be exciting to see how far up Bitcoin goes now. Meanwhile, at WazirX, we continue to work remotely. In the meantime, I hope you all maintain social distancing and stay safe.
