COINS Act 2025 (Crypto‑Systems Oversight, Innovation and Strategy Act)—

A comprehensive model law unveiled in July 2025 by policy groups Hashed Emergent and Black Dot. It remains non-binding until introduced and passed by Parliament.

India’s crypto sector suffers from regulatory ambiguity, punitive taxation (30% capital gains + 1% TDS on transfers), and limited digital asset rights. The COINS Act addresses these issues through a user-first, innovation-friendly framework inspired by global standards like the EU’s MiCA and Singapore’s sandbox approach .
