The post India to Ban Crypto? How ‘Digital Rupee’ Could Replace Bitcoin & Ethereum Soon appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

India is nearing a crucial decision about the future of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The government is considering a ban on these digital currencies while promoting its own Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), known as the digital rupee. This potential change has sparked conversations about the future of India’s digital economy, especially as the country explores the safer options offered by a state-backed CBDC.

Here’s all the details you need to know about this development.

The Debate Over Risky Cryptocurrencies

While there has been no official announcement, many government officials believe the risks tied to cryptocurrencies—especially their potential for misuse—are too great. In contrast, the CBDC is seen as a solution that can provide similar benefits without the associated dangers.

“CBDCs can do whatever cryptocurrencies do, but without the risks,” stated one government official, highlighting the preference for a more regulated digital currency. Unlike private cryptocurrencies, a CBDC could offer stability without the volatility or potential for illegal activities.

India’s Crypto Policy Developments

In July, Ajay Seth, India’s Secretary of Economic Affairs, mentioned that an inter-ministerial group, including the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), is working on a policy paper regarding cryptocurrencies. Although this paper was expected to be released in September, its delay has led many to wonder about India’s final stance on the issue.

If the proposed ban is enacted, it could result in stricter regulations on private cryptocurrencies, making CBDCs the preferred digital option for the future.

Promoting the Digital Rupee

Meanwhile, the RBI has been actively promoting the retail use of the digital rupee. Currently, usage is still modest, with about 18,000 daily transactions, but the RBI aims to reach one million transactions by the end of the year.

To make the digital rupee more appealing, the RBI is developing features such as offline transactions and plans to integrate it with India’s popular Unified Payments Interface (UPI). This integration could help the digital rupee become a more convenient and widely accepted payment option across the country.

New Era of Digital Finance for India

India’s push for the digital rupee represents a broader move towards digital financial transformation. With over 5 million users and 16 participating banks, the digital rupee is quickly gaining traction.

The race is on: will India’s CBDC outpace private cryptocurrencies?
