India has this whole ' blockchain not bitcoin' thing going. What that translated to is private not public chains (I suppose that's understandable on some level, though I'm a public chain maxi). Nonetheless, good progress has been made with private uses of blockchain. Good parliamentary answer on the state of public chains in India used by the Govt.

ITAP of a unicorn eating some green leaves, because even unicorns gotta eat. This is not an imaginary unicorn. Meet the real live, flesh, blood and armored 'rhinoceros unicornis' aka, the one horned rhino from Kaziranga, Assam. Next time someone doubts the existence of unicorns, show them this. #ITAPRound11

Interesting report from Coinswitch, on how India invests in crypto. It's clear now that India’s crypto market is booming, driven by Delhi-NCR, which leads investments with nearly double the activity of Bengaluru, followed by Mumbai, Hyderabad, and emerging cities like Jaipur, Patna, Ludhiana, and Surat. Delhi investors prefer bluechip and large-cap cryptos, while smaller cities diversify into small caps. On the asset front, BTC and ETH dominate portfolios, but India's growing love for meme coins is striking, with $DOGE leading at 55% of meme coin investments. $PEPE emerged as the year’s star performer with a staggering 1373% gain, followed by $BONK and others. L1 tokens continue to attract the most interest, making up 37% of investments, while meme and gaming tokens are gaining significant traction. https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/money-and-banking/cryptocurrency/delhi-and-bengaluru-lead-in-indias-crypto-investments-as-bitcoin-crosses-100000-in-2024/article68995671.ece

BTC is property.. at least for capital gains purposes. Seems kinda obvious, but good to have it confirmed. Nice article on the latest developments in this regard ( I'm quoted in it.. so gentle self plug :) https://decrypt.co/297049/india-tax-regulator-crypto-capital-gains-tax

The Govt of India answers a parliamentary Qs. regarding the introduciton of web3 regs in India. Takeaways: (1) legacy laws re- IT, income tax, GST, PMLA, companies already amended; (2) waiting for international consensus and coordination (G20, etc); (3) might see a discussion paper; (4) formal and informal consultations with industry ongoing(can attest to this); (5) no specific timeline. Not sure how I feel about this, its something... Where do your jurisdictions compare? Where is the regulatory arbitrage today?

I'm sure intentions are good, but the results are mixed. It seems when it comes to direct taxes, the Indian is standing on a whale fishing for minnows! https://www.esyacentre.org/documents/2024/12/9/the-impact-of-indias-vda-tax-policy-an-update
