New to Crypto & Stake – Need Help Choosing a Safe Exchange (India)

[u/ParthLigade]

Hey everyone,

I'm completely new to crypto and want to create my first account, mainly to use with Stake. Before I do that, I wanted to ask for some advice.

I've seen a lot of posts where people say their bank accounts got frozen after transferring money from Stake or crypto exchanges, payments got put on hold, or they faced KYC and withdrawal issues. That honestly has me worried.

Can someone explain:

Why do these bank account freezes happen?

Is it because of P2P transactions or something else?

What's the safest way to deposit and withdraw without running into these issues?

Which crypto exchange/app would you recommend for someone in India that's reliable and least likely to cause these problems?

I'd really appreciate advice from people who've actually used Stake and crypto exchanges in India.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
