India is reassessing its cryptocurrency regulations as global policies evolve, with officials revisiting a discussion paper that could reshape the country's attitude toward digital assets.
As the U.S. accepts Bitcoin, India may soften its stance on cryptocurrencies
India is revisiting its stance on cryptocurrency regulation as international views on digital assets change, Reuters reported on Sunday, citing Indian Economic Affairs Minister Ajay Seth. The official said:
More than one or two jurisdictions have changed their stance on cryptocurrencies, including their use, acceptance, and how they view the importance of crypto assets. In the process, we reviewed the discussion paper again.
His comments suggest that India is reassessing its regulatory framework in response to changing global cryptocurrency policies.
Changes in U.S. crypto policies have influenced this reassessment, especially after President Trump issued an executive order expressing support for digital assets. Trump's stance stands in stark contrast to the Biden administration's approach. In addition, regulatory changes in the U.S. may indicate a more favorable environment for cryptocurrencies. The departure of Gary Gensler, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), known for its strict regulation, and the appointment of a cryptocurrency czar and a pro-Bitcoin Treasury secretary suggest that clearer, more relaxed regulations may be on the way. These developments have sparked optimism in the crypto industry.
In addition to regulatory changes, the United States has begun discussing considering Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Some states have proposed legislation to classify Bitcoin in this way, which could strengthen its role in financial security. Other countries are considering similar policies, suggesting that the world is moving towards incorporating Bitcoin into national economic frameworks.
