Namaste Tribe! March was a ray of hope for the Indian crypto ecosystem. While we were waiting for the crypto bill to be presented in the Parliament, our Finance Minister offered us clarity by saying that India is going to take a calibrated view on crypto. This approach will give us ample room to innovate and grow the crypto ecosystem. At WazirX, we’re always innovating and working hard to ensure that India not only participates in crypto, but also stays at the forefront of this revolution! ?
