Crypto Currency-Emerging Trends

                                                                                                                                              Cryptocurrency investment has become a craze among many Indians. More than 20 million Indians have invested around $5.5 billions in different types of digital currency. Investors hope to earn disproportionate returns on crypto investment. The leading crypto exchange WazirX reported a turnover of $43 billion during 2021.

How many Indian investors know the technology, risk as well as the legality of investment in digital assets?

RBI has been opposing Crypto, saying that it is a danger to the financial system.The much-awaited regulation for regulating the CBDC has yet to be notified. The Finance Secretary of Govt of India says it is neither legal nor illegal. A tax of 30% has been imposed on the gains from transfer of digital assets. The Supreme Court has refused to ban crypto currency.
Of late there is a lot of volatility in crypto market. There also possibility of the funds being diverted for terrorism and other anti national activities taking advantage of absence of any regulation.

Crypto investment is not a substitute for stock market investment. The exchange risks are not hedged. According to the Governor of RBI there is no basis for the valuation of the cryptos.
The commercial banks are also concerned about the possibility of a parallel digital financial system with no accountability.

Hence the government of India and RBI should make their stands very clear. If we can not ban it, we should have a comprehensive regulation to regulate the digital currency. The investors should also be told the possible risk exposures of investment in crypto.

Many projects fail shortly after launch due to a lack of interest or poor execution. Others may be experimental or created for specific purposes, such as testing new blockchain features.   Why the number of cryptocurrencies keep rising According to data from CoinMarketCap and other crypto tracking platforms, 10,000+ cryptocurrencies existed as of July 2025. This staggering number reflects the rapid decentralization happening within the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.

In brief Individuals Decrypt spoke to said they had seen tactics by North Korean IT workers to get hired by foreign companies change over the past few months. They believe the country is hiring foreigners to help them get through early rounds of interviews. North Korea stole $1.34 billion in crypto last year. The software developer who turned up on the call for an interview with UK verification startup Cheqd a few months ago ticked all the right boxes. Based somewhere in Europe, he knew his stuff, had some experience, and spoke good English.
