I read something similar from the official sources of news from India but what I think is that the government over there has not yet banned the use of cryptocurrencies. Most of the governments from various countries are going opposite to the use of cryptocurrencies because use of cryptocurrencies is minimizing the use of fiat currencies which is also minimizing the collection of taxes.
Governments are always greedy and try to collect maximum amount of taxes from the peoples but the cryptocurrency markets are anonymous which does not give the right to anyone to keep track on the transactions which also makes it impossible to government to impact taxes onto it so they are always running opposite to them.
