Although the Bill\u2019s exact contents have yet to be made public, Bloomberg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloombergquint.com\/business\/intent-on-ban-india-to-give-transition-time-to-crypto-investors-bq-exclusive\">reports<\/a> that a senior official from the Finance Ministry has indicated that all forms of cryptocurrency could be banned through the new law.<\/p>\n<p>The move is sure to be a blow to India\u2019s nascent cryptocurrency sector. In 2018, the Reserve Bank of India had effectively taken a similar measure by asking all banks and regulated financial institutions to cease dealing with cryptocurrency firms. The net effect was that cryptocurrency trading became limited to peer-to-peer sites, which negated any dependence on banking services. In March 2020, the Supreme Court of India overturned the ban, and a flourishing market for cryptocurrency firms has emerged in the meantime. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medianama.com\/2020\/12\/223-indian-crypto-currency-trading-volumes-grow\/\">One report<\/a> states that cryptocurrency trading in India increased as much as 500% following the Supreme Court ruling.<\/p>\n<p>One thing is clear \u2013\u00a0the ban won\u2019t be welcomed by many. There\u2019s currently a high-profile and well-supported Twitter campaign led by members of the Indian cryptocurrency scene, assembling under the hashtag #Indiawantsbitcoin. Former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-captable.com\/banning-crypto-tn-dollar-mistake\">stated his belief<\/a> that banning cryptocurrencies is akin to banning the internet and is a mistake that could cost the Indian economy trillions of dollars.<\/p>\n<h2>Decentralization &#8211; A Path Ahead<\/h2>\n<p>Is there any hope for the Indian cryptocurrency community? It\u2019s my belief that decentralization is the best path forward. Although we know little about the government\u2019s plans, it\u2019s thought that the ban will cover \u201cprivate cryptocurrencies.\u201d Quite how this will be defined remains to be seen, but Bitcoin and Ethereum have managed to evade being classed as securities in many countries due to their open and decentralized nature.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the growing DeFi sector could also offer a path through any upcoming regulation. Providing that any given protocol can remain sufficiently out of the control of a single centralized entity, it could avoid the classification of being a \u201cprivate cryptocurrency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeFi holds massive potential for India for several reasons. A relatively young and tech-savvy population, rapidly accelerating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/mckinsey-digital\/our-insights\/digital-india-technology-to-transform-a-connected-nation\">digitization<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-05-india-policies-financial-inclusion-unbanked.html\">190 million<\/a> unbanked people all point to a bright future for the Indian DeFi scene. However, adoption will be the most critical factor in maintaining this path.<\/p>\n<p>In this regard, the timing of last year\u2019s Supreme Court ruling could hardly have been any better. 2020 was an epic year for DeFi, and the rate of growth shows no signs of slowing down.\u00a0 Indian cryptocurrency innovators also made significant inroads into this burgeoning sector, setting the scene for future development.<\/p>\n<h2>Indian DeFi Innovators Blazing the Trail<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/unilend.finance\/\">Unilend<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/plotx.io\/\">PlotX<\/a> are two examples of DeFi projects emerging from the subcontinent, both having successfully completed seed rounds in late 2020. Unilend is a permissionless protocol combining spot trading services and money markets with smart-contract-enabled lending and borrowing services. It aims to open up DeFi to many of the token economies currently locked out of the existing DeFi ecosystem, which tends to focus on the top-performing assets.<\/p>\n<p>PlotX is a non-custodial prediction protocol, offering automated market making on high-yield prediction markets. The protocol operates on a decentralized governance model, where members vote on proposals that are enforced by Ethereum-based smart contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Another example is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyfi.network\/?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=f3eae5a99f67da184d73531a9543c6c35bed2f87-1613478821-0-AUU77mzDwwx95Hg60ziPdNm-6bmr4rWz8HGDsw3lvlw5VIhezlp5G8Jl-tTDtAh4_zJytXbhlE4TI71luhMGTq0aO2RAXOqOqM8WPW_G-qF2rAysXLDJRgGSlqOZtBGm0k5sf-yY8aZ-lKgUe2kEFK_lzP1MCRiN-aSs6-g5Su_fOeeWtT5C1tUugSyhb_L12cB1e0KTo4To61LkX4ZvrYAT19dgs2uFpGjJUzOzxb9dlBRxwSqvkZ4QFqWnnePuTIyXv4ZMSDix4cUVIkT09zLDZgsWpBmsGvPPvBFsKxNv0d79pKNXE391e-PyQmKYww\">EasyFi<\/a>, a DeFi platform offering huge potential for supporting the unbanked with micro-lending facilities and undercollateralized loans based on a reputation scoring system. EasyFi is developed on Matic Network (recently rebranded to <a href=\"https:\/\/polygon.technology\/\">Polygon<\/a>,) which has established itself as a flagship project for the Indian blockchain scene after gaining early backing from Coinbase Ventures and Binance. Under its new branding, Polygon aims to pivot from being a scalable Ethereum second-layer to a protocol for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible networks.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, centralized exchanges have also been making a foray into DeFi. <a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/\">Coinswitch<\/a> has been steadily adding DeFi tokens to its trading platform, while Bitbns launched an <a href=\"https:\/\/bns.finance\/\">initiative<\/a> in September that allows users to farm yields of its BNSD token.<\/p>\n<p>India has weathered a crypto ban before, and although it was a challenging time, the crypto scene prevailed and came back stronger than ever. With the current bull run causing the cryptocurrency markets to reach unprecedented new all-time highs, and a DeFi scene bursting with innovation and investment, Indian cryptocurrency users should not have to miss out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After less than a year of Indian cryptocurrency users enjoying unfettered access to the cryptocurrency markets, it now looks likely that the authorities will intervene once again.
