Regulatory discussions in India around a crypto ban caused panic selling on major crypto exchange WazirX, resulting in a massive price drop for leading cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).

Crypto prices in India crashed soon after parliament announced to introduce and list 26 new bills in the Winter Session, which included the Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021.
