India is advancing towards a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, emphasizing innovation and investor protection, particularly during its G20 presidency. The government is committed to aligning regulations with international standards, as evidenced by the inclusion of Virtual Digital Assets under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and the clarification on capital gains tax for crypto transactions. Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan's appointment to Ripple's advisory board reflects increasing institutional interest in the crypto sector, positioning India among the top five countries in global crypto transaction volume.
