India takes cue from US, re-examines crypto regulations
The post India takes cue from US, re-examines crypto regulations appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. India is reevaluating its cryptocurrency stance in response to changing global attitudes.

The country maintains tight oversight, with the Financial Intelligence Unit taking action against non-compliant exchanges. In December 2023, the FIU issued notices to nine offshore cryptocurrency platforms, while Binance paid a $2.25 million fine in June 2024 to resume Indian operations. The Reserve Bank of India has consistently expressed concerns about private digital currencies, reiterating its cautious stance in its December 2024 Financial Stability Report. However, India’s market regulator has suggested a multi-regulator approach to cryptocurrency oversight. This shows a potential openness to private virtual assets among some authorities. The current tax structure remains a barrier for crypto traders. There are currently no provisions for offsetting losses and mandatory deductions on transactions exceeding ₹50,000 per financial…
