India and cryptocurrency
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that India was close to adopting cryptocurrency after several years of vacillating on its position as it sought to meet up with the global move towards digital assets.
The country’s central bank will launch a digital version of its currency, the rupee in the next fiscal year, according to a statement by the country’s minister on Tuesday, February 1, 2022.
Nirmala Sitharaman, India Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs said the introduction of digital currency will accelerate India’s digital economy and lead to a cheaper and more currency management system.
