The Indian government may not have paid heed to the calls for regulation in crypto from the industry, but that has not stopped the crypto community from rallying together to support the government and the country amid the ongoing Covid crisis.
WazirX founder and CEO Nischal Shetty said “Of course, everything will be done by the book in a legal way. However, it also again highlights the need for crypto regulation to be put in place so that there are not so many barriers.” Shetty’s company has also individually committed INR 8 Cr in fiat currency to help ease Covid pain in the country.
