It will be interesting to watch as what will be the reaction of the government and RBI on such ATM . Will they continue to allow in rest of India or will they curb this and ask them to remove it is what needs to be done as it could be again a election point for the parties.

Well we didn't have to wait long to see what the RBI thought about this.

Unocoin co-founder has been arrested and the ATM has been taken down. Worst part the ATM was not even operational. It was still in its final phase.

Then again what else can you expect from RBI.

It's a really great news. This is greatly reduce the FUD created by Indian media. Although it doesn't affect the people who are already involved in crypto but it was greatly affecting new money entering this market.

This ATM will being a lot of positive news
1. People will be aware this crypto is not illegal in India
2. New money will enter market
3. It will prove that RBI can't do anything until some actual
law is passed.
4. People getting scammed while converting crypto to
cash will reduce as they have a legitimate way.

I personally feel that the Indian government would not have much of a choice if the US rules in favor of cryptocurrency. This is mainly because India and US have a good relationship which makes it more likely that India would adopt cryptocurrency in the likely event that the SEC rules in favor of cryptocurrency. Think of them as 2 brothers who want to see eye to eye. It isn't necessary they will follow each other every step of the way but the chances do increase significantly.

It's true this helps a lot. This would be the first ever crypto ATM in India. And the India market presents a great deal of potential. This ATM does not involve any bank thus abiding by the rules and regulations of India.
This might provoke people to invest in cryptocurrencies
