Insiders in India's blockchain and cryptocurrency\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> industries have advised the ministry of finance to treat cryptocurrencies as commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investors would be classified as commodity investors who must adhere to KYC compliance standards under the authority's legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also urge that under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme, investors' individual shares be capped to $250,000. This may face pushback from Indian investors, who have been consuming the bitcoin industry at a breakneck pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This differs from a previous proposal, which advocated for a separate entity. “One of the participants in the discussions said,” said one of the participants in the discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had earlier suggested setting up a separate Digital Asset Regulatory Authority<\/a> (DARO), but the idea didn\u2019t fly with the government as it would require a separate law altogether.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Because the asset class is popular in India, the Indian government will want to act quickly. According to a recent survey, non-metropolitan cities have played a significant role in adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulation stance in India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Xiaomi, one of the most popular electronics manufacturers in the country, is also considering developing a lending platform, but has deferred for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies are doing well as well, with CoinDCX being the first crypto unicorn<\/a> in the country. Even so, if clearer regulation were in place \u2014 which may happen soon \u2014 there would be a lot more growth. After all, Indian investors regard cryptocurrency as a new sort of gold, and it is in high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news is the most recent chapter in the ongoing tale of Indian cryptocurrency legislation. The decision to regulate the market has been postponed, besides flip-flopping between a draconian stance and a reasonably encouraging one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest news suggests that the government is going for a more friendly approach. It realizes that the market has a lot to offer and can encourage growth. At the same time, it\u2019s concerned about the fraud and the potential for illicit<\/a> activity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like many other countries, it has decided to look into the use of a CBDC. The country\u2019s central bank, the Reserve Bank of India, may introduce digital currency in phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not much else has been said about it, but it\u2019s possible that the government will announce something by the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
