In an interview with Hindustan Times, Nirmala Sitharaman, finance minister of India, said that this is not that situation, at which we can say “we don’t care” about what is going on. And also we can’t say that we don’t need to do anything.
Actually she took a reference from the Central Bank of India, where they stated that Virtual currencies are highly risky and are not backed by any of the government authority of India. And investors are advised to remain away to avoid any kinds of financial risk. And also in a statement talking about crypto regulation they said that we have to leave this matter and we should give time for this market to evolve, so that we can understand.
Further, Sitharaman added that the Indian government can’t eject crypto operations out of the country. But on the other side they are not ready like El Salvador.
“..are we yet ready to go the El Salvador way? We have to be sure that a futuristic thing can’t be shut out”
Further Sitharaman added that India can’t have its own crypto ( like El Salvador). But fintech firms are giving commands that we have potential to handle.
And further she added that the Indian economy has full possibilities. But for the crypto they have to go through.
“Fintech gives us the command over the instrumentalities with which you can play; our economy is full of possibilities. So, we have to be cautious; but we have to think it through”
