    Background
    
    In April 2018, RBI gave local banks a three-month notice to stop servicing crypto companies, mainly exchanges that trade virtual coins.

    Still, in three months banks did what they were ordered to do. In return, Indian crypto trading startups sued RBI for laying this ban on them.
    
    The court has <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://cryptocomes.com/indias-top-court-hearing-on-crypto-ban-postponed-to-september">postponed the final decision</a> on electronic assets’ official status in India until autumn. Meanwhile, trading electronic coins is banned.

    Alternative ways of trading
