BENGALURU -- Ravi Handa was among thousands of investors who lost a combined $230 million in a cyberattack theft this summer on WazirX, a now-defunct Indian cryptocurrency exchange. Remarkably, it hasn't soured the 41-year-old's appetite for digital currencies.
"Cryptocurrencies are a 10-year bet for me," said Handa, who followed the sector for years before first investing in 2020 to diversify his assets. "The current value of my holding is about 2 million rupees ($23,800), and I will be very happy if it grows 10 times by then."
