Indian cryptocurrency users are already suffering amidst the uncertainty that revolved around the regulations in the country. Cryptocurrencies were banned in the country after major scams rose to the mainstream where scammers defrauded millions of rupees through fake initial coin offerings and cryptocurrency investments.
On the other hand, about two million cryptocurrency users in the country are hoping that the ban would be lifted soon and proper regulations are put in place so that the cryptocurrency users can use legal channels.
