Arjun Vijay, co-founder of the Chennai founded Giottus Cryptocurrency Exchange hold. The rule affects US exchanges and US individuals. But if it is taken by international bodies like the FATF, it will have a heading on India. I don't believe this will shift enterprise outside the US. Exchanges outside the US are already on guard of accepting US customers due to the rigorous regulation in the US," he said.
