one of the indias oldesy crypto exchanges is shutting down-  zebpay
Peer-to-Peer to the rescue
Mumbai-based cryptocurrency exchange WazirX launched its service on 8th March 2018, just a month before the RBI notification prohibiting banks from dealing with cryptocurrency exchanges.

Launching an exchange into this regulatory atmosphere was not the most perfect scenario for Nischal Shetty, founder and CEO of WazirX. “Within a month, the news about the RBI ban that would come into effect from July came out.” Three days after the ban kicked in, Shetty launched a peer to peer service using which people could cash-in and cash-out of crypto without needing to deposit money into the company’s bank account.

WazirX and Koinex were some of the first Indian exchanges to offer peer-to-peer crypto trading options which came as a lifeline to exchanges and customers at this time.
