India Considers Banning Cryptocurrencies While Pushing Forward on CBDC Digital Rupee Adoption
On October 23, the Indian government is weighing a ban on private cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin while actively promoting the adoption of the central bank digital currency (CBDC). According to the Hindustan Times, after consultations with multiple key agencies, Indian regulators are inclined to implement a ban on cryptocurrencies.
The report states that India's attitude towards cryptocurrencies has undergone multiple reversals. In 2018, the RBI banned banks from processing cryptocurrency transactions, which was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2020. In November 2023, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das emphasized the potential risks of cryptocurrencies to the Indian economy and supported CBDC as a safer alternative.
