The RBI ban by asking banks and other registered entities to terminate their business relationships with firms and individuals dealing in cryptocurrency kicked-in from today. This means that cryptocurrency investors have only two options – do not transact or transact in cash. “The choking of banking channels means that virtually all cryptocurrency related transactions will have to be done in cash or not at all,” Rashmi Deshpande, Associate Partner at Khaitan & Co said.
