In this episode of Web3 Unlocked, Kenzi Wang and Diksha Dutta speak to Nischal Shetty, Founder of WazirX and Shardeum, on decentralization, the right way to build communities, and making it in web 3. Before Nischal launched WazirX and Shardeum, he started his entrepreneurial journey by creating a social media company (what began as JustUnfollow is now Crowdfire) in 2010. He was a software developer, and before 2010, he had a day job and worked on his app on the weekends and any free time he had. This social media app was based on the idea that most people needed a single account to manage their Instagram, FB, and other social media pages. The app was successful and got 20 million users. In 2017, the large social networks started changing many rules, which affected all the businesses built on their platforms. That's when Nischal decided that he would build his next projects on a decentralized platform.

The new crypto tax regime in India has finally gone into effect, and it appears to be affecting the trading volume in the country. Media reports from the country suggest that trading volumes on crypto exchanges have dropped by an average of 15% within the first three days of the month. Not only that, but crypto exchanges operating within the country have also seen their domain traffic drop by 40%. India crypto exchanges trading volume suffers Co-founder of Crypto India, Aditya Singh, confirmed these reports on Twitter. He posted graphs showing a significant dip in the trading volume of 4 of India's top exchanges. Indian Exchanges saw Volume drop after New Crypto tax rules became applicable on 1st April. Aditya Singh (@CryptooAdy) April 2, 2022 The trading volume of WazirX, the country's biggest exchange, dropped from $208 million to less than $100 million before the month even started. The drop in trading volume doesn't come as a surprise, given the hefty tax imposed on crypto. Indians will have to part with 30% of their profits with the new tax law. In addition, another tax will come into effect next month, which will deduct 1% on every crypto transaction from the source. Already, crypto stakeholders are predicting that the 1% tax on every transaction will affect liquidity within the sector. They claim that this tax will limit the number of trades as investors who are high-frequency traders will cut down on their trades. The rule also prevents tax write-offs for losses made on trades which means investors would be more likely to run at a loss. Stakeholders lambast the new tax regime Many predict that such a tax regime could push many crypto traders and companies to leave the country. According to Nischal Shetty, CEO of WazirX, the 1% tax-deductible at source (TDS) is “the worst-case scenario for the industry.” The executive director of policy at CoinDCX, Manhar Garegrat, also stated that “There will be no liquidity left in the markets” if TDS comes into effect. “Trades placed by buyers will not get executed as efficiently as they do today, and such inefficiency will eventually dwindle the whole ecosystem,” he added. Major exchanges want to invest in India While crypto stakeholders are worried about an exodus, major exchanges like Coinbase and FTX are showing interest in investing in the crypto space of the Asian country. Earlier today, Coinbase revealed that it plans to invest $1 million into crypto and Web3 projects initiated in the country. Another report revealed that FTX could be set to invest in India's Mobile Premier League (MPL), which intends to launch NFTs and a play to earn based game before the end of the year. This shows that despite the government's best effort at making the industry unattractive to investors, some stakeholders still believe there is ample opportunity for them in the country.

In India, the legal status of crypto and cryptocurrency trading remains a hot and murky topic. India's divisions, differences in opinion and all-out tug-of-war over the legality of crypto have been on full display in recent years. First there was a central bank ban on banks doing business with crypto firms. Then the Indian Supreme Court overturned that banking ban. Earlier this year, India's Parliament upped the ante by drafting a bill that would ban crypto outright. That crypto ban bill hasn't gone anywhere — yet. But with that threat in the shadows, what are India's crypto holders and companies to do? As India's crypto community awaits official clarification, many companies are now taking matters into their own hands through a voluntary and self-imposed code of conduct that would make them compliant with reasonable regulations, said Nishcal Shetty, founder of WazirX, in an interview with Forkast.News. WazirX, which launched just three weeks before the Reserve Bank of India's issued its ban on crypto banking in 2018 and has since grown into one of the nation's biggest crypto exchanges, recently joined a new collaboration between India's Blockchain and Crypto Assets Council and India's Internet and Mobile Association to develop guidelines for self-regulation among India's crypto exchanges. “The idea as an industry was, should we really just wait till the law comes in and just have anyone operate according to their own wishes? Or can we sort of try to build a template and sort of show the government that even on our own, we're still responsible and it's not the Wild West out here,” Shetty said. “I think with that objective, we decided we should all come together, exchanges in the country and adhere to some set of guidelines which we will all follow.” An entrepreneur at heart, Shetty took a hard look at India's lagging position in the blockchain and cryptocurrency global ecosystem and realized that creating access was the first step to foster technological innovation and growth in the nation of 1.4 billion. Throughout his journey in the space, Shetty has discovered that among the oscillating government positions, that there are nuances in even hardline stances and a willingness by government officials to learn and understand the disruptive new technology. Shetty also believes the crypto industry can help the hundreds of millions of citizens who do not have access to mainstream financial services, such as having a bank savings account. “If you look at the whole equity space in India, we have probably 70 million people into it, that's about 4% and that's an industry that has existed for many, many years,” Shetty said. “Now, here you have an industry which sort of in India — I think it's been only four or five years since crypto really became a popular term — if you look at it in isolation, yes, it seems like just 1%. But if you think about it, it's already 25% of the whole equity space in a very short period of time. So that growth trajectory is something which is very, very visible.”

Every problem has a solution. You just have to be creative enough to find it. Our guest in thisepisode is a problem solver at heart, who has used the art of coding to solve real-life problems. Brace for the resilient journey of Nischal Shetty, Founder and CEO, WazirX, India's largest cryptocurrency exchange. In a candid conversation with Akshay Datt, Nischal talks about his fascination for computers and his coding journey. It was in the second year of engineering when he was bitten by the coding bug and since then there's been no looking back. From building the Knightloader App for a college project (the App helped in downloading reading material from the Internet at night) to transforming his weekend passion project to Crowdfire which helped users to unfollow people on Twitter, Nischal has found logical solutions to problems via coding. He further talks about how a major setback with Crowdfire inspired him to build something that no one else can control. He found his calling in cryptocurrency and this is where the journey of WazirX began. Tune in to this episode to hear Nischal speak about how cryptocurrency has the power to disrupt the well-established and archaic BFSI sector, with WazirX being the torchbearer of this change. Key takeaways: ● Cryptocurrency 101 ● India's response to cryptocurrency ● The association between WazirX and Binance (the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange). ● Cryptocurrency as a means to diversify investments
