to look inward and say we are not going to have any of this. There will be a very calibrated position.” She added: “Mixed messages are coming across the world. I don’t think there is a complete go this way or that way in this matter. We will have to take a very calibrated position.
Note to relief-
Investors, Now is no worry and no need to panic sell at this point of time. The provisions on the bills are still unknown to us and everyone, furthermore it has not been passed yet. It is important for you to make an informed and timely decision with all the facts on the table. We are expecting the Crypto currency Bill to be in our favor of the progression of the industry. The government will soon come to the consensus and provide more clarity on defining public and private cryptocurrency.
In the unlikely event that certain cryptocurrencies you hold are banned, you will receive a notice period to transfer or sell your assets. You will not lose your holdings. This is in precedence of February 2021, the government planned to ban crypto entirely and gave a 3 month window for the same. However the ban was not executed. At the end of the day, however the situation may progress, we can promise you that we are giving utmost importance and priority to you and safekeeping your assets. We will act in accordance with laws applicable laws and regulations in this regard.
