According to Economic Affairs Secretary Ajay Seth, India is reevaluating its stance on cryptocurrencies in light of shifting worldwide perceptions of virtual assets. The U.S., where President Donald Trump proposed the creation of a cryptocurrency working group to regulate digital assets and investigate a national cryptocurrency stockpile, is one of the countries that has recently implemented cryptofriendly regulations. Seth underlined that as cryptocurrencies are international assets, Indias stance cannot be unilateral. Indian investors are still using cryptocurrencies despite strict laws and steep trade taxes. In contrast to the central banks warnings about the economic hazards posed by offshore exchanges, the Financial Intelligence Unit FIU has taken action against them for noncompliance, and last year, Indias market regulator expressed a willingness to allow private virtual assets.

RBI’s $5 Billion Dollar/Rupee Swap Auction Set to Attract Strong Interest

On Friday, six bankers predict substantial interest from banks and corporate treasuries in the Reserve Bank of Indias RBI 5 billion dollar/rupee buysell swap auction. This sixmonth dollar/rupee swap is a component of the RBIs plan to counteract the rupees depreciation by injecting roughly 1.5 trillion rupees $17.33 billion into the banking system.

The auction is designed to accommodate multiple bids at different prices, with the RBIs ongoing interventions likely to stabilize the auction cutoff levels. Read More..
