Probably India must be their short lived launch. They did a launch party and announcement but their fiat payment integration was pulled by the central bank and they never actually launched.

It was hilarious. Coinbase called it was due to “informal pressure from the regulator”. It’s quite likely, they never had a clear bank partner in India, merely a third party fintech company as a proxy.

It’s quite unlikely a large bank will take a stance on crypto, especially as public opinion has shifted now, with many calling RBI’s stance (anti-crypto) exceptionally good in hindsight.
