RBI Maintains Cautious Approach on Cryptocurrencies, Supports Underlying Technologies
RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra stated that India maintains a cautious stance on cryptocurrencies due to concerns over monetary sovereignty, monetary policy, and capital flows. However, the Reserve Bank supports innovation in underlying technologies like distributed ledger and tokenisation, using them in public-private partnerships. While domestic payments are efficient, cross-border transactions remain challenging, with central bank digital currencies seen as a potential solution. Malhotra also linked rising public debt and bond yields to increased government and private spending, including investments in artificial intelligence.
