India’s crypto victory has come after a  long wait since it’s ban by the Central Bank of India- The RBI (Reserve Bank of India) back in in 2108.

The historic judgement

India’s top court (Hon’ble Supreme Court invalidated an order issued by India’s central bank (The Reserve Bank of India) which had directed the banks to refrain in transactions involving cryptocurrency.

India’s Crypto Victory

The case involved the Internet and mobile association of India as the petitioner and the Reserve Bank of India as the respondent. The petitioners also involved “a few companies which run online crypto assets exchange platforms, the shareholders/ founders of these companies and a few individual crypto assets traders” as stated in the 180-page judgment rendered on 4th March, 2020 which led to India’s crypto victory.

The judgment stated the availability of power is entirely different from the manner and the extent to which it can be exercised. It clearly stated “we are testing in this part of the order the proportionality of such measure, for the determination of which RBI needs to show at least some semblance of any damage suffered by its regulated entities. But there is none.”

It was stated that it is a paradox that Block chain technology is acceptable to RBI, but cryptocurrency is not. This judgement validates not just cryptocurrency but also the platform of its genesis “The Block chain technology”.

IPBLOCK

A foresighted approach and a belief in robustness of Block chain technology is what led Prometheus Patent Services to come up with its own Block chain driven platform in the year 2018 known as “IPBLOCK”. As a part of data confidentiality IPBLOCK is a platform to timestamp invention disclosures on Block chain. IP Block is a tamper proof, highly reliable, transparent, and secured platform employing peer-to- peer computational methods for storing encrypted data in Block chain without disclosing to any third party, not even to IP Block itself!

This judgement rendered by a three-judge bench is a big celebration for the crypto ecosystem in India. It’s a big step towards opening avenues for worldwide investors. India’s crypto victory has brought a great relief for the traders all across the country who can now trade in and out their digital cash easily.
