India’s Crypto Policy Put on Hold? RBI Resistance Delays Big Decision

India’s Crypto Policy Put on Hold? RBI Resistance Delays Big Decision

India’s much-awaited cryptocurrency policy paper is likely to be shelved for now, as strong resistance from the Reserve Bank of India continues to stall progress.

According to reports, the central bank has raised concerns over financial stability, capital flow risks, and potential misuse of cryptocurrencies, making policymakers cautious about moving forward with a formal framework.

The delay signals that India is still undecided on its long-term stance toward crypto, despite growing global adoption and increasing participation from Indian investors.

Earlier expectations suggested that the policy paper would outline regulation, taxation, and compliance norms, but ongoing disagreements between regulators have slowed the process significantly.

Experts believe that until there is clarity, the crypto ecosystem in India may continue to operate under uncertain and evolving regulations, impacting investor confidence and innovation in the sector.

Should India regulate cryptocurrencies strictly — or embrace them to boost innovation and investment?
