CoinSwitch launches recurring buy plan for crypto assets
CoinSwitch has launched a recurring buy plan to make investments in digital assets simpler, systematic and disciplined. The new facility will enable users to beat market volatility and avoid making impulsive buying or selling decisions, said CoinSwitch, one of India’s largest crypto platforms. The plan will allow users to keep aside a fixed amount of money to buy crypto assets every month over a long period of time. This will help them focus on the long-term strategy rather than timing the market. The upper limit for buy orders on the platform is capped at Rs 2.5 lakh per order. Users can buy single or multiple cryptos through the plan which is quite similar to making an SIP in crypto assets where investors put in a fixed amount in a scheme at regular intervals, usually every month.

Russia could use cryptocurrency to blunt the force of US sanctions
Since then, the global market for cryptocurrencies and other digital assets has ballooned. That is bad news for enforcers of sanctions and good news for Russia. On Tuesday, the Biden administration enacted fresh sanctions on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine, aiming to thwart its access to foreign capital. But Russian entities are preparing to blunt some of the worst effects by making deals with anyone around the world willing to work with them, experts said. And, they say, those entities can then use digital currencies to bypass the control points that governments rely on — mainly transfers of money by banks — to block deal execution.
