India Advances Blockchain Use in Bitcoin Investment and Tokenised Bond Settlements
Bitcoin continues to exhibit extreme volatility, being either the best or worst performing asset annually, with growing interest from Indian high-net-worth investors and family offices viewing it as a potential store of value beyond trading. Concurrently, India's Reserve Bank and SEBI have launched Demat 2.0, a pilot program using blockchain and central bank digital currency to tokenize corporate bonds, aiming to enhance settlement efficiency and broaden investor access. Both developments highlight India's increasing engagement with blockchain technology in finance.
