In April 2018, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), issued a circular prohibiting all the banks and digital wallets associated with RBI to stop providing the banking facilities to those companies which are providing the crypto-INR exchange facilities. In response to the ban, various cryptocurrency exchanges started challenging RBI in different courts. All of these cases were clubbed and were taken to the Supreme Court.
