India banned crypto. It never even traded using crypto. By the way a country of billion plus should have freedom to do trade in whatever way they like

And other countries have freedom to scoff at that or even sanction trade with it (gasp, the horror!). Freedom works both ways, you know.

A fitting quote for the moment:

Also regarding India and tokens, sure they are officially banned. But they are still a key link a in trade chain, that' why I mentioned Dubai and its neighbors. They act as a laundromat and a tumbler, obscuring financial flows. And one part of the Russia-India trade or Russia-Iran trade or even Russia-China trade involves tethers (USDT), without which exchanging rubles to rupee or to yuan directly would be highly problematic and risky. Tokens mitigate some of the risk by hiding financial flows through multiple jurisdictions.

America and Europe invaded other counties for no valid reasons which means they are the fascist nations.

Is not America buying Russian Uranium and fertilizers is not helping Russian economy?.

Is not Europe buying Russian gas and oil is not helping Russian economy?

btw India never ever traded with crypto. bought oil under price cap which was set by the west.
