They have, at least for what they can.
We’ve moved fast in trying to get BAT to everyone and make ourselves available in as many regions as possible. Unfortunately each government has different restrictions and we’ve encountered some pushback from that in different countries. For example, each country has different requirements for KYC/AML among other things that weren’t being met by current standards, so those regions had to be put on hold while this gets resolved.
We really want India and other countries to be able to be Verified and are working behind the scenes to do everything we need. We hope to get this resolved ASAP but there’s no timeline.
Also in the last Community Call we had last week, they shared that we should soon have a third option for Exchanges beyond just Uphold and Gemini. But they didn’t have a timeline and didn’t want to reveal specifics. Also unknown is whether they would be available to India.
Along with Brave and government challenges, you also have the very high increase in fraud from India lately which presents even more challenges. I’ve given this example before, but check out Some Fraudsters Buying and selling Gemini and Uphold accounts for BAT token withdrawal
While you’re going to have issues everywhere, it’s been ridiculous how many people are hacking and committing identity fraud in India compared to other countries.
