So just 5 months after they were announcing they will do that and the other and they will continue operations, they will launch crypto to crypto pairs and continue without banks, they've closed the shop.

Unfortunately, this shows one thing, without the money coming via bank transfers, there is no volume, no trade and in the end no customers.They were down to 600k from close to 10 mils a day in April probably it would have died on its own in a couple of months.


Of course, that's how you shut down cryptocurrencies. People who are saying that it's impossible to stop cryptocurrencies should read about this case. If you are unable to trade crypto to fiat pairs you're done as long as there's not enough acceptance to allow you to cash out in products and services.
This is what China did to stop crypto in their country and the same thing is now happening in India. Should we be worried? Probably not because it won't happen in the EU, Japan and many other crypto friendly states, but the possibility remains.

Hamstrung for months by the Indian central bank’s diktat disallowing banks to undertake any cryptocurrency-related transactions, Zebpay said it was shuttering its exchange.

“The curb on bank accounts has crippled our, and our customers’, ability to transact business meaningfully. At this point, we are unable to find a reasonable way to conduct the cryptocurrency exchange business,” Zebpay said in a blog post. “As a result, we are stopping our exchange activities.”

Still yesterday, I said that the bitcoin in India was going to the abyss because of its government that shows no sympathy for bitcoin and today I listen to this news that clearly shows that the government of India will not change its decision, I say this because an exchange like Zebpay may have realized that the situation in India will not change so soon. this is very sad


It's true that the govt. till now has had an anti-stance to crypto completely. But the Supreme Court heard petitions on the banking ban on crypto few days back. So a lot of things now hang in the balance on the Supreme Court's decision. If the Court decides in favor of the petitioners, then the ban would have to rolled back. Fingers crossed.

P.S. The Zebpay wallet will continue to function even though the exchange will stop operations. So no need to panic withdraw.

They did very well in keeping the Zebpay wallet

Also check the tweet replies. Rival exchanges (Wazirx and Koinex) have seized the opportunity to strut their stuff Tongue

but this will not last very long
