Month in Review — January 2020

Namaste Tribe! The first month of 2020 has been 💣 with Bitcoin price crossing $9K mark, crypto market picking up, and Crypto vs. RBI hearing coming to end. January was also a historic month for the Indian crypto ecosystem as WRX became the first Indian exchange backed token to announce IEO on Binance Launchpad 🚀

Something to add

We saw various interesting developments in this month. Our court case hearing was also interesting and showed that the judge bench had done prior research on blockchain and crypto. I think it’s a very good thing for our ecosystem.

In the meantime, let’s keep busting more myths and misinformation about crypto, and keep winning 💪

Jai Hind 🇮🇳
