Namaste Tribe! July was a roller-coaster with the market volatility, the IMC report, but with BTC crossing $10,000 again, and the kind of things we have in store for you, I’m bullish about August! 🙌

[Complete] WRX milestone 1 ✅

Reach 50 BTC consistent daily trade volume

With your support, we finally achieved our Milestone 1 of consistently crossing 50 BTC in daily trading volume in June. We have grand plans for WRX, and we have started working on it. Have patience, and we’ll reveal it to you very soon. Remember, good things come to those who wait. 😎

What happened last month

[Done] WRX mining update: We have completed one year of launching India’s largest mining rewards! We’re so happy to share with you that we’ve given away millions of WRX so far. Leveling up the game, we’ve raised the mining difficulty of WRX by halving the bounty rewards. It came into effect for trades performed after 2nd July 11:59 PM IST. We’ll further reduce the mining rewards in future, so right now is the best time for you to trade, unlock and earn WRX! Click here to view the revised WRX trading slabs. Happy trading! 🚀

Some highlights

1. Last month, I went live with India Ahead News to talk about IMC crypto ban proposal. It is the first national news to invite the crypto industry’s point of view. Let’s spread this everywhere!

2. We have crossed 6,000 reviews on Google Play Store! ⚡️

3. Good reviews like these 👇

Something to add

Last month, the inter-ministerial committee (IMC) shared its report and recommendation on crypto. However, the recommendation has to pass through several stages before or if it becomes a law. I have written a post about how the IMC report is fundamentally flawed, and you can read it here.

If you’re holding funds on WazirX, there’s no need for you to panic. WazirX is an international exchange registered outside India, and will continue to operate. Holding crypto on WazirX is similar to holding crypto on any other international exchange. The effect of India-specific regulations on WazirX will be the same as on any other international exchange.

The release of this anti-crypto recommendation has brought us at a critical point in the crypto revolution. As an industry, we need to come together and act now to make sure that our government doesn’t accept this undemocratic and draconian proposal. Here’s how we can make our voice heard:

1. Tweet to government about positive aspects of crypto using #IndiaWantsCrypto and tag our ministers.
2. Write on publications, your own blog, upload youtube videos pointing out the flaws in the IMC report.
3. Write physical letters to your local MP’s, our Finance Minister, and Prime Minister explaining why this IMC report is flawed. Very soon, we’ll also share a draft that you can use in the letter.

If we don’t act now, it will be too late, and we will pay a huge price for it. Go out, bust all the misinformation, and let’s fight together because it’s now or never!

Jai Hind 🇮🇳
