CoinSwitch Kuber CEO clarifies ED raid news

CoinSwitch Kuber CEO Ashish Singhal took to Twitter to clarify the news around the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) recent raid at five cryptocurrency exchange offices. Singhal said that the ED visits were not related to any money laundering probe as reported, but rather a part of the ongoing collaboration with the government to regulate cryptocurrencies.

Singhal claims the ongoing engagement with the ED is a result of the Indian government’s difficulty in classifying cryptocurrencies, and it is a struggle among governments globally. He cited the Australian government’s “token mapping” project and the US’ debates on cryptos as a commodity versus security as proof of this confusion.

Singhal reiterated that CoinSwitch Kuber plans to be around for the long-term and is dedicated to “building a responsible crypto ecosystem that contributes to the Indian economy and creates wealth and employment for millions of Indians.”

There are many media reports doing the rounds about the recent engagement of ED Bangalore with @CoinSwitchKuber. So let me clear the air.

• First of all, the last few days’ events are not about money laundering or PMLA.
