Meanwhile, India is reportedly working on a new way to regulate cryptocurrencies. “The government is planning to define cryptocurrencies in the new draft bill that also proposes to compartmentalise virtual currencies on the basis of their use cases,” according to a media report.
According to details, cryptocurrencies will be treated as an asset/commodity for all purposes, including taxation and as per use case — payments, investment or utility. Crypto assets can be either categorized on the basis of the technology they use or they can be defined on their end-use. In addition, the government will decide which cryptocurrencies will be allowed to trade in India.
This would be the first time cryptocurrencies will be categorised by the technology they use and the government will focus on the end-use of the asset for regulatory purposes.
