Summing Up
Ever since the decision of the Supreme Court of India of quashing the blanket ban declared by RBI (two years back), the Indian crypto community is enthusiastically getting involved in launching the new products, services as well as various kinds of platforms and exchanges. After the lifting up blanket ban, trading volume on the platform increased and the recognitions from global corporations also rose up, thereby aiming to diversify crypto communities. Though, some the decisions are still pending like the enactment of the bill related to cryptocurrency in Indian Parliament, clear instructions and guidelines of RBI, taxation rules and regulations and many more. Many exchanges who wished to expand in India want the clarity related to the categorization of the digital asset as that would be considered as a commodity or good or currency and the related framework of taxation rules applied. Undoubtedly, the confidence of Indian crypto community has been boosted by the decision and many new crypto platforms have been launched, but still, a cryptocurrency needs to travel the long road for the mass adoption in India. Thus, some time is needed by the companies and other institutions to gain momentum and understand the implications of a new currency that is based on Blockchain technology and decentralisation model without any central authority for management of transactions.
