Since the bill was introduced, comments by Indian Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharama have implied that a final decision over the future of the bill has yet to be made. Specifically, Bloomberg Quintreported that Sitharama has said that the government would “follow the recommendations of the committee report” and that “the legislative proposal, if any, would be introduced in parliament following due process.”
Additionally, there are rumours that the bill will propose the creation of a government-controlled digital currency known as the 'Digital Rupee' that would replace all privately-created digital currencies.
Therefore, the bill, dubbed 'The Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill', represents a major setback for the cryptocurrency industry in India, and, some experts say, for the global crypto industry.
What are the implications of the ban in India and abroad? And, is this really the end of crypto in India?
So far, it is known that investors will not be able to hold or invest in private cryptocurrencies under the new law. However, it is not clear whether or not cryptocurrency companies based in India will be allowed to offer services to foreign clients, or if blockchain research companies will still be allowed to practice their businesses.
Unocoin Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Sathvik Vishwanath told Bloomberg Quint that: “we’re all waiting for details [of the proposed law] to come out to determine our next course of action.”
The bills’ stated purpose is “to create a facilitative framework for the creation of the official digital currency to be issued by the RBI,” and to “prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India, however, it allows for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its uses.”
Adam Garcia, Chief Executive of investment advisory firm, The Stock Dork, told Finance Magnates that indeed, “it is clear from the bill introduced to ban private cryptocurrencies in the country that the industry will be impacted negatively.”
Adam Garcia, Chief Executive of investment advisory firm The Stock Dork.
“Investors have already been unmotivated to stop [the] further business of any cryptocurrency,” he said.
“The immediate impact of the ban on the industry, though it is not clear which cryptocurrencies will be banned, is that investors have halted the trade of these currencies in the country. In the long run, [for the] next 2-3 years, India will see a decline in the private investors in the cryptocurrency industry. The ban will also hurt the Blockchain developers in the country.”
If the Ban Goes Forward, “[India’s] Crypto Industry Is Expecting a Brain Drain”
In other words, private investors are not likely to be the only group that is affected by the ban. In fact, the crypto ban may have a wholistic effect on the crypto and blockchain industry that has been growing in India for several years.
Some experts say that one of the most immediate effects of this ban will be 'brain drain'. The Economic Times of India reported over the weekend that: “the crypto industry is expecting a brain drain similar to what happened in 2018 after the Reserve Bank of India directed banks to desist from dealing in any transactions involving cryptocurrencies.”
Indeed, Vishwanath said that: “if [the] government goes ahead with banning all cryptocurrencies, except the one backed by the state, it will not make sense to continue our business in India. But, we’ll have to wait and watch.”
“Would India Have Been a Global Software Superpower If It Had Banned [the] Internet?”
Therefore, many crypto industry advocates in India believe that the country has a lot to lose when it comes to technological and economic growth. Mathew Chacko, a Partner at Spice Route Legal, told the Economic Timesof India that: “for any innovative company to take advantage of blockchain the way they will do it, is to use crypto assets to finance the growth of the blockchain company, and if you ban that, it’s like you are permitting electric vehicles, but not funding them.”
Similarly, Nischal Shetty, the Chief Executive of WazirX, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in India, wrote today on Twitter that: “Banning Crypto is like banning [the] Internet in the 90s.”
“Would India have been a global software superpower if it had banned [the] Internet?” he said. “Regulate, don’t ban in order to foster crypto innovation.”

Would India have been a global software super power if it had banned Internet?
Similarly, Balaji S. Srinivasan wrote on Twitter that banning crypto in India could have disastrous consequences for the country's future as a tech hub.
“Banning crypto would be a reversal of economic liberalization in many ways. It would basically be banning the financial internet from entering the country. It’d be a trillion-dollar mistake for India. And, there are cheaper ways of achieving the desired goals,” he wrote. Srinivasan is an angel investor and entrepreneur who was formerly the Chief Technical Officer of Coinbase and General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz.

Therefore, some industry insiders, including Shetty, believe that it might be possible to overturn the ban before it is fully enacted. “Is India going to ban ‘Financial Internet’ because a few people do not understand technology?” He wrote on Twitter. “I don’t think so. We’re here to help.”
Day 838
Financial Internet: A permissionless financial ecosystem
The world is competing to gain an edge in this new innovation
Is India going to ban ‘Financial Internet’ because a few people do not understand technology?
Then again, the Indian government may have its sights set on creating a healthy blockchain industry without private cryptocurrencies, and it would not be the first country to do so.
And, despite China’s restrictive regulations, there have been a number of reports on a healthy blockchain industry within the country. Additionally, China is recognized as one of the world leaders in Bitcoin mining. In other words, a healthy blockchain space without private cryptocurrencies is at least theoretically possible. Therefore, India’s decision to follow in China’s footsteps could be a sign of what is to come in other countries.
Indeed, Ben Reynolds, Chief Executive and Founder of investment advisory firm, Sure Dividend, pointed out to Finance Magnates that: “China has already banned trading and using cryptocurrency, with them already experimenting on their own digital currency. India is now following in China’s footsteps by banning cryptocurrency and creating its own digital currency. This could be an early sign of more countries doing the same.
Ben Reynolds, Chief Executive and Founder of investment advice firm, Sure Dividend.
Garcia also told Finance Magnates that: “as far as other countries are concerned, I think this move will begin a trend of introducing digital currencies by them.”
“All the countries know that digital currencies are safer than the traditional ones because they are secured by Blockchain technology, and will want to introduce currencies of their own to allow safe trade of digital assets and currencies,” he said.
Unequal Effects on the Richest and Poorest in Indian Society
If India’s ban on private cryptocurrencies does go ahead, a number of analysts have also questioned how effective it would be. This is because China’s ban did not (and has not) necessarily stopped its citizens from trading and holding cryptocurrencies, though there are limits to how and where they can do so.
Shetty wrote on Twitter that: “if India bans crypto, it affects 2 sections of India differently.”
“The Rich: CAN invest in Bitcoin outside India, [and] Continue to benefit from Crypto innovation,” he said, while “The Common People: CANNOT invest in #Bitcoin [and] Lose on Crypto innovation while others progress (sic).”

-The Common People: CANNOT invest in #Bitcoin Loses on Crypto innovation while others progress#IndiaWantsCrypto
In other words, a ban on private cryptocurrencies may be effective against small investors who do not have financial resources that wealthier investors have access to. If this is true, it is the poorest members of Indian society that could stand to lose the most as a result of the ban.
“Truth: Crypto is a huge global opportunity that India cannot afford to miss,” wrote Sumit Gupta, Co-founder and Chief Executive at Indian crypto exchange, CoinDCX, on Twitter. “Investors have been seeking clarity for years now. An outright ban will hurt local investors and will also stifle all investments flowing into India.”

Axi Select’s role in reshaping the prop firm space & empowering traders | FM Talks with Greg Rubin
In this FM Talks interview, Greg Rubin, Head of Axi Select, speaks with Nicole Cheimona, Content and Community Executive at Finance Magnets, to discuss how Axi Select is redefining trader funding.
Greg clarifies that Axi Select isn't a traditional prop firm. Instead, it's a trader-centric program built on live accounts and the strength of the Axi brokerage. He highlights their commitment to a fair playing field, offering crucial educational resources, and providing real-life trading conditions without the restrictive rules (like daily drawdowns or news trading limits) common elsewhere.
He stresses that the trading conditions are paramount to long-term success. The structured program guides traders, solving the common problem of undercapitalization and over-leveraging, with the ultimate potential to manage $1 million of their funds.
Greg also touches on the importance of risk management and trading psychology among successful participants. Get a look at their role in the evolving landscape of regulation and a hint at exciting upcoming features, including a new dashboard and developments for their top traders.
