India Reserve Bank needs a crypto proposal in 4 weeks

Elsewhere, the Reserve Bank of India has been ordered by the Supreme court in the country to come up with a crypto policy proposal in 4 weeks. This comes after the bank had banned all local banks and regulated entities from engaging with any crypto entities.

The court will make an independent ruling about the matter should the bank fail to come up with a proposal.

The decision was received with a huge celebration by local crypto campaigners who have been contesting the government's stance on crypto and digital assets.

Already, local industry players are refusing to have the matter left to government officials to decide. Blockchain India has organized a series of meetups meant to produce a list of community-sourced suggestions for the policy involved. Reportedly, the group plans to submit its’ work to head off the inter-disciplinary committee responsible for drafting the regulations.
