"[Blockchain] annab meile nii palju võimalusi. Seda saab kasutada väga mitmel erineval viisil. Nii et me ei ole tehnoloogia vastu," Sitharaman ütles at an event in Bengaluru.
“But on currency, we think [it] has to be driven by either the government or the central bank. Otherwise, it can be like those that have collapsed, causing huge spillover effects all over the world, like FTX," ta ütles.
The Reserve Bank of India, the nation’s central bank, has launched pilot trials for retail and wholesale central bank digital currencies. According to Sitharaman, the digital rupee intends to improve cross-border and bulk payments to minimize losses on arbitrage.
India, kogu maailm rahvaarvuga riik, is aiming for a global consensus in regulating crypto assets.
“Global order has become so interlinked that one country taking any step when it comes to regulating crypto assets will be ineffective because technology doesn’t care for boundaries or borders,” Sitharaman ütles.
The South Asian nation is also looking to prepare students on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. It has announced the introduction of these topics in certain school curriculums from the next academic year.
India has been tackling digital assets with caution. Last year, Sitharaman imposed 30% kindlat maksu krüptotulu kohta ja a 1% tulumaksu mahaarvamine (TDS) krüptotehingutel üle 10,000 122 India ruupia (XNUMX USA dollarit).
India ei luba ka krüptokauplejatel seda teha kahjumi kompenseerimine against gains. It has introduced a penalty võrdne TDS-iga mahaarvamata jätmise eest, viivis 15% aastas ja isegi kuni kuuekuuline vangistus.
India is currently the president of Group of 20, an intergovernmental forum of the world’s major economies, and has listed cryptocurrency and its regulation as one of the agendas for discussion.
