Why cryptocurrency exchanges struggle to provide crypto withdrawals for Indians | Explained

The Hindu  

The story so far: Mudrex, a crypto platform that is “US-headquartered and Bengaluru-based” made headlines this month when it announced it was temporarily pausing crypto withdrawals until January 28, to “enhance the security of our platform and safeguard against bad actors,” said the company in an official blog post on January 12. Gupta on January 15 acknowledged that while users wanted unrestricted crypto withdrawals, the company had to comply with India’s “strict capital controls.” He noted the risks of expert criminals escaping detection. These exchange bank accounts hold funds from both bad actors and genuine users, directly impacting the liquidity of INR funds of our genuine users,” said Gupta in his post on X, when justifying the block on crypto withdrawals. “We do not allow crypto withdrawals on our platform however, users can withdraw their investments by converting their crypto into INR on an exchange like ours, and receive the money in their bank accounts,” said Balaji Srihari, Vice President, CoinSwitch, in response to The Hindu’s query. “To officially enable crypto withdrawals for all customers in India, the introduction of clear regulations and a well-defined policy framework for VDAs is essential,” he said.
