Could you please elaborate on the recent rumors circulating in the crypto community about the potential for India to block access to KuCoin and KOIN URLs? There have been growing concerns among investors and traders in the country, especially given the recent regulatory clampdown on cryptocurrencies. Is there any official statement or indication from the Indian government that these platforms may be targeted? If so, what would be the likely impact on Indian crypto enthusiasts, traders, and investors? Also, are there any legal options for Indians to bypass such potential blocks and continue accessing these platforms?
