India today is no stranger to the concept of Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrency. Home to over 1 billion people, the South Asian country touts a population rivaling that of China. India, officially known as the Republic of India, is the second-largest country by population after China. The industry of cryptocurrency in India today still shows a country that is uncertain about the asset class.

In India, government bodies have discussed the country’s stance on cryptocurrencies for years. Although headlines have mentioned various possible cryptocurrency-related bans and regulatory moves — with people often asking, “Is Bitcoin legal in India?” — the country has yet to officially outlaw crypto on the whole. Companies focused on digital assets could not work with banks for a time, thanks to a 2018 ruling from the Reserve Bank of India, or RBI — the country’s central bank — but those restrictions were removed in 2020.
