New terms set for Indian crypto investors
Indian crypto investors will reportedly be given a specific time frame to declare their crypto investments, after which they must hold their holdings on SEBI regulated crypto exchanges. According to local media reports, India will not act to ban crypto entirely and will instead regulate the industry. The news sparked panic selling on crypto exchange WazirX, with the government’s lack of disclosure splitting investors over cryptocurrency prospects in India. However, Indian news outlet NDTV reported on December 2 that it received details of a circulating cabinet memo regarding the proposed crypto bill in the government. NDTV correspondent Sunil Prabhu said the memo includes proposals to regulate cryptocurrencies as cryptocurrencies, with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) overseeing the regulation of local crypto exchanges.
According to Prabhu, investors will be given a specific time frame to declare their cryptocurrencies and have to transfer them to SEBI regulated exchanges, suggesting that private wallets may be banned. He added that this is part of the government’s push to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. Prabhu also said that the government will suspend plans for a central digital bank currency (CBDC) with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) while focusing on the crypto sector.
