The FIU urged the Ministry of Information Technology to block URLs and remove apps of these exchanges. Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, told CryptoNews,
“A regulated environment will provide a level-playing field for all players in the industry and create a strong security layer around India’s thriving digital asset ecosystem with a strong focus on user protection.”
As part of BuyUcoin’s initiative, users will be reimbursed for the withdrawal fees incurred during the transfer of assets from offshore platforms upon submission of proof of payment. Additionally, the platform is offering a 1% bonus to users transferring their digital assets to BuyUcoin.
