India is home to the second-largest number of $BTC (Bitcoin) and crypto holders in the world.

Despite regulatory uncertainty, millions of Indians have adopted cryptocurrencies as an investment and store of value. In 2021, a small tea seller from Bengaluru made headlines for accepting Bitcoin as payment—symbolizing grassroots-level crypto adoption. Additionally, India ranks among the top in global crypto adoption indexes, with younger generations driving the trend.

Even top Indian tech minds contribute to major global blockchain projects like Ethereum and Polygon.
