πThe government is going to introduce a Bill on cryptocurrencies, along with 25 other Bills during the Winter Session of the Parliament beginning November 29, according to the Lok Sabha website !!!
π The decision comes amid concerns over such currencies being allegedly used for luring investors with misleading claims and for funding terror activities, suggested earlier reports !!! The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill, 2021 "seeks to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India, however, it allows for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology and its uses".The bill aims to create a facilitative framework for creation of the official digital currency to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India, the statement further said.Β
As the news broke, Nischal Shetty CEO, Founder Wazir X, exclusively told BT, "The stance of government looks similar to the last one. Will have to go through the contents of the bill. Bitcoin is a public cryptocurrency on a public blockchain."
He also added, "This is a big moment for India... Our nation has come a long way in these 3 years! It speaks volumes about how India is determined to dominate the web 3.0 era !!!
