India’s Regulatory Stance on Cryptos Still Unclear Coinbase’s hiring announcement comes as India still stands unclear on the regulatory stance in cryptocurrencies. Anonymous sources representing Indian government officials have been providing statements to major media houses on an upcoming crypto ban since the beginning of the year. Reportedly, the country’s lawmakers are preparing a bill that would criminalize the “possession, issuance, mining, trading and transferring crypto-assets.” However, India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman recently hinted that there might not be a blanket ban on crypto operations. She made it clear that there will not be a complete ban on cryptocurrencies or at least the technology part of it. This week, Indian entrepreneur Nandan Nilekani endorsed cryptocurrencies as a store of value, saying the citizens of the country should be allowed to have them as an asset class. He further emphasized that Indian regulators need to help the country’s micro, small and medium enterprises access capital through Bitcoin.
