Indian Government Plans to Block IP Addresses of Crypto Exchanges

As per a Business Standard report, the Indian government is contemplating blocking the IP addresses of crypto exchanges as part of its forthcoming ban on digital currencies. Nevertheless, the government did not mention whether it plans to block IP addresses of domestic exchanges or international ones. Moreover, earlier, the Central government attempted to block the IP addresses of adult sites and hundreds of Chinese applications, although people could still access them.

However, even if IPs are blocked, savvy crypto investors can still proceed with digital asset trading via VPNs (virtual private networks).

Furthermore, industry experts advocate that the government supersede blocking public platforms allowing trading and investment of cryptocurrencies. However, the measure taken will not be infallible in accomplishing the ban because of VPN other options.

The country’s finance minister lately indicated that it might not be a blanket ban on crypto transactions. These different reactions ignited questions amongst local crypto investors.

Moreover, India’s crypto adoption grows by 30%. The transaction of cryptocurrencies in India increased as much as 30% in volumes through the past year.
