India reviewing crypto position due to global changes, senior official says

The Hindu  

India is reviewing its stance on cryptocurrencies due to shifting attitudes towards the virtual asset in other countries, a senior government official told Reuters on Sunday. He did not specifically mention the United States, where Mr. Trump last week ordered the creation of a cryptocurrency working group tasked with proposing new digital asset regulations and exploring the creation of a national cryptocurrency stockpile, making good on his promise to overhaul U.S. crypto policy. India's Financial Intelligence Unit issued show-cause notices to nine offshore cryptocurrency exchanges in December 2023 for non-compliance with local rules. Last year, India's market watchdog recommended that several regulators oversee trade in cryptocurrencies, in a sign that at least some authorities in the country are open to allowing the use of private virtual assets.
