News about recent liquidity issues in the crypto market, plunged the market into a state of FUD this past week.
As India’s simplest crypto trading platform, we see it as our duty to reassure our users that their funds on CoinSwitch are absolutely safe. Here’s an excerpt from an email we sent to them:
