Speculations were rife in the cryptocurrency space for about a week about the much-hyped client conference call by Goldman Sachs. As BeInCrypto previously, reported, the financial giant was supposedly planning to focus on ongoing financial trends and their impact on inflation, gold, and Bitcoin.

However, even before the conference call took place on May 27, a leaked document surfaced on Twitter suggesting that Goldman Sachs doesn’t even consider Bitcoin, and by extension, other cryptocurrencies, an asset class. If anything, one of the leaked slides made it abundantly clear that the bank has nothing but harsh criticism for Bitcoin and its brethren.  BeInCrypto has more on that.

Regardless of what Goldman Sachs says, however, it looks like Wall Street is still cozying up to Bitcoin. This is evident from a recent estimate by independent researcher Kevin Rooke that Grayscale Investment added another 18,910 BTC to its stash since the halving event on May 11 — that’s even more than the total number of bitcoins mined during this period.

India’s central bank has gone on record acknowledging that it is no longer prohibiting banks from offering services to cryptocurrency-related businesses.

Despite an earlier order by the Supreme Court of India, a number of Indian banks were still harassing crypto exchanges by refusing them services. The RBI’s latest clarification on the issue could be a key to removing any lingering confusion that these banks might have had.

This is a welcome development given that being the fifth-largest economy and home to over 1.2 billion people, a crypto-friendly India could be a big boost to Bitcoin and its brethren.
