According to Reuters, two major Indian cryptocurrency exchanges have disabled deposits via a popular payment system. Users were unable to deposit cash via the United Payments Interface (UPI) to buy cryptocurrency on the CoinSwitch Kuber and WazirX exchanges. UPI is a popular real-time payment system regulated by India’s central bank.
