The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has said that there is "no prohibition on banks" when it comes to providing crypto businesses and traders with accounts. The central bank's clarification was in response to an official query, filed April 25, which questioned whether the RBI had stopped banks from providing accounts to crypto traders and companies.

In April 2018, the RBI issued a circular banning banks from providing services to crypto entities. At the time, it gave regulated businesses three months to cancel their services.
The issue from the bank came after it warned the public about trading in crypto, citing potential security risks.
Indian crypto exchange CoinDCX has raised $2.5 million in a new investment fund. Led by Polychain Capital, Coinbase Ventures also participated.

According to Sumit Gupta, co-founder and CEO of CoinDCX, this is a "shot of confidence" for the company, which is working at bringing crypto to an untapped Indian market.
