Web3 News of the Week

 Several activities took place in Web3 lately. With the intent to capture some of the Web3 news here we see, 

 📻 The ED has requested additional details and documents from CoinDCX and CoinSwitch Kuber as part of its investigation into possible foreign exchange violations. Coinbase-backed, Vauld is the latest victim of the crypto crash. With immediate effect, the firm has banned all withdrawals, trading, and deposits on the Vauld platform. Vauld also laid off 30% of its workforce last month, with the majority of the workers coming from India.

 📻 Within an hour, the Salman Khan-backed GARI Token dropped from $0.72 (INR 57) to $0.13 (INR 10). Rumors developed that the cryptocurrency had been hacked, but the business later denied this, claiming it was a black swan market event. 

 📻 Cryptocurrency exchanges such as CoinDCX, WazirX, and ZebPay have suffered a 70% drop. The 1% TDS regulation, suggested earlier this year in Budget 2022, has been included into the Income-tax Act.
