India is reconsidering its cryptocurrency regulations in response to changing global policies. The country is revisiting a discussion paper that could potentially reshape their approach to digital assets. The reassessment is influenced by shifts in U.S. crypto policy, including President Donald Trump's support for digital assets and regulatory changes indicating a more favorable environment for cryptocurrencies. Discussions have also emerged in the U.S. about recognizing bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, which could impact India's approach. However, uncertainty remains around India's regulatory framework, and there are doubts about the previous timeline for releasing a discussion paper on cryptocurrencies. Currently, India imposes taxes on gains from crypto transactions, which many argue hinder innovation and market activity.
