Seriously our Indian officials are pretty lazy when it comes to progressive thinking. When countries like Japan, South Korea and even America are allowing cryptos our RBI and govt. wants to ban it. And instead launch their own crypto. Why should we invest in this national crypto when they don't even allow us to trade other cryptos.

Don't worry, it's not just in India. I used to think some countries were more progressive than others simply because their people thought differently. But after spending some times with civil servants everywhere, I've now seen and understood a little better. Sometimes, it's just because of a few powerful individuals all stuck within a system that forces them to act like that.

You can see the same bright minds in some places, but who are unable to shine because the system snuffs it out as soon as it emerges. So I don't doubt there are great Indian officials, just a terrible system that needs an old generation to pass before something like crypto can be heard.

Hopefully the Indian people can one day buck this oppressive regime and have the money of their choice and not something controlled by government.  I have faith the 1 billion people will soon be free.

The people should still be happy that the government is opening up to the crypto market. At least from a complete ban, they are now alright with tokens, is a good news indeed.

The government is considering launching crypto tokens for financial transactions in the country, even as the existing ban on cryptocurrencies is likely to continue.

A committee set up by the finance ministry, under the chairmanship of the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) secretary, is reportedly working on a set of regulations and roadmap to allow certain crypto assets to be used in India. Once the draft regulations are ready and legally vetted, it will be tabled before Parliament, sources said.

DEA secretary Subhash Chandra Garg, who is heading the committee, is quoted by DNA as saying: “The committee is studying the possibility of using cryptocurrencies or crypto technology (distributed ledger technology) for financial transactions and also what kind of regulations are needed for that…[while] the currency is totally banned, the committee is discussing its other usage and how it can be mainstreamed in India.”

However, they put the trust in Token: “Crypto token operates in a closed system and doesn’t impact the country’s monetary policy unlike cryptocurrency, which interferes with the money supply situation.”
