Well a very good news for the businesses there. India is a growing place for tech related companies and has one of the largest supply of tech experts. I know a lot of tech experts and engineers from India who are dedicated towards the research and development of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
This particular initiative from the government would be able to retain brains and further help digitalizing India.

This is good news, at least India will fully adopt blockchain. We know that cryptocurrency in India is growing so rapidly that lifting this ban will have a positive impact on the crypto market.

We will see later in the next few months how the development after withdrawal will there be more users there doing transactions with cryptocurrency.

The heading is wrong.

The ruling came from the Supreme Court of India, and not from the Indian government. Also, the ownership of cryptocurrency was not banned in India previously. The ban prevented banks from dealing in cryptocurrency or allowing bank accounts for the purchase or sale of cryptocurrency. So it was more of a "banking ban" and it is removed with immediate effect now.

Yes, it is not the Indian government but the Supreme Court of India is the one that decides to ban crypto,

But after less than two years, they finally realized and see how they can take advantage of the uses of cryptocurrency, they seem to not have enough research before, but the good thing right now id they lift the ban and it can bring a good effect in the market.

when I read that a long time ago about banning of crypto in India, I said to myself, it is only a matter of time before they changed their minds. and yes, it is happening now. because I think,  they are seeing that more and more advanced countries and big companies are openly supporting and accepting crypto, why not them? so if they will continue to suppress the crypto transactions, they will just be left behind by this new technology.

I saw this news item on another platform earlier and I thought it was a hoax. India is has one of the largest population in the world, am glad  the government would now allow people to make business transactions with cryptocurrencies. This is great news for the cryptocurrency enthusiasts in India, the general economy of the country would surely increase in the long run.

Maybe you don't realize it now, but it is probably the best positive news for the cryptocurrencies this year! The market is again open to the 1.3 billion people! Also it is much better news for XRP army because as far as I know Ripple has many important partnerships in India.

I do not think that indian govt. Has lifted the ban on cryptocurrencies rather it is the supreme court of india that has declared the ban illegal and has allowed trading of crypto which itself is a great verdict but we will have to wait and see if the government in india will go in appeal or accept and follow supreme court's verdict.

I don't quite get it could you answer please- is it legal now or it has no legal status at all?
Both ways Indian's banks has permission to make transactions, but its totally different

This is awesome and really good news for our fellow indian crypto enthusiasts. I am sure that this will really make a difference on Crypto community since Indians are well-known computer experts. Looking forward to see how the projects will be different with this development.

[bttmember]

Really encouraging news and i hope that the Indian government will now come up with some pro crypto policies as well and if they really come up then the neighbouring countries like nepal, bhutan, bangladesh and others can also apply those policies to really boost this next gen technology.

Just look at the after effect of this news.
After Court Victory, Indian Exchanges Gear Up for Crypto Trading Surge
This is a very good news from India and we're all breaking all the rumors there. Actually, it's no longer a rumor that India banned crypto because it's for real and they are allowing it again. This is such a very good day.

[sayaya17]

This is good news because in my opinion the crypto ban in a country will have an adverse effect on the country, because the people cannot innovate in technology. We should follow blockchain technology to improve one's economy and the country can also benefit, for example by cutting taxes from crypto to its citizens.

The lift of ban is really a breakthrough and a milestone achieved not just by India but the entire cryptocurrency sector. I'm being optimistic that this will pioneer more cryptocurrency and blockchain's adoption across many nations in the nearest future. With Indian being one of the largest economy in Asia, cryptocurrency market is about to experience a whole new form of adoption and usage.

The news lead to surge in the price of Indian owned cryptocurrency exchange token, Wazirx which is partnered with binance to provide a robust trading platform for the whole of india.

For years Indians have been marginalised within the crypto space as  a result of the ban on crypto by her central bank. It has in no doubt diverted the attention of the citizens of India from crypto related activities as it is not locally accepted, hence, it is seen as a waste for people not to consider geting involved but its nice to aid massive sdotion by first unbanning the tech and allowing people to learn.

The supreme court's decision is final and from my understanding, if crypto is not even an illegal in india but the token that can be declared as security that was already issued outside of the security regulation in india will be considered as an illegal thing that must be banned by this country. India is not even having a problem with bitcoin because it was utility coin but it's clear that if indian central bank has already stated if the problem should be on the creation of illegal security token that can put the indian investors into the big risk by investing in the illegal security that is not even getting controlled by the government.
It looks like you must try to learn more about the decision that already taken by india and it's very similar to what already done by US to the crypto.
Utility coin like bitcoin will never be banned.

Indian banks back to work with cryptocurrency? Do you really think that some banks work with cryptocurrency? I doubt it very much. most likely this is just false news from some companies. it will never be profitable for banks to work with cryptocurrencies and cryptocurrencies are created to destroy banks.

[pakhitheboss]

Good news for the crypto community based in India. After two years of ban from the Reserve bank of India,  things will change surely in the subconscious. I don't think this news will affect the market straight away but, it is a good sign for the community.

This all is not very easy as few peoples thinking because its a long term work and going to take some good time right now they are much behind in this all first of all need to do some work on basic infrastructure then they will able to deliver recently few peoples was asking for blockchain technology as well because its a big country and they need some quick and good things for better and fast results so this is going to increase life style and many other things for local people.
