2020 has been receiving adjectives like ‘unlucky’ or ‘nightmarish’ for a long time now owing to Coronavirus. Perhaps, the adjectives are not entirely wrong too, as most countries are still struggling to deal with the virus, and yet a few have opened up the lockdowns to a certain extent keeping the economies and normalcy of human life in mind. However, just before the outbreak of Corona took an aggravating turn, India had managed to witness lifting the infamous crypto ban.
While the country is already moving towards a digital revolution, apparently, now the time has come where crypto believers can bear fruits of prolonged patience. Notably, one of the most noticeable crypto lovers in India who had supported the digital currencies even when it wasn’t that popular in the nation is the WazirX’ CEO, Nischal Shetty. The same exchange platform, WazirX, has welcomed ERD (Elrond) coin to its listings against USDT for trading. Apparently, the exchange platform, especially after the lifting of the crypto ban in India, has been flourishing by leaps and bounds.
Notably, Elrond network has revealed the same update using its twitter handle,
