The crypto tax law was passed in India, recently, amidst an uproar from the industry as the amendments suggested by the crypto community were not taken into consideration. This could make crypto trading and investing in India, highly unfavourable. Meanwhile, globally the amount of Bitcoin and Ethereum on exchanges has been gradually hitting new lows, an indication that the assets are being moved into hard wallets and a supply crunch is imminent in the coming days. This could well be the start of a new bull cycle.
