Anonymity and Multi-Layered Laundering<\/strong>&#8211; Crypto transactions <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">use wallet IDs instead of real names<\/span>, allowing criminals to move money through hundreds of wallets, DEXs and mixers, making tracing extremely difficult.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Cross-Border Movement of Illicit Funds<\/strong>&#8211; Cryptocurrencies enable quick transfers to countries like <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Dubai, China and Cambodia<\/span>, where weak regulations and lack of uniform reporting make international coordination very challenging.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Use by Cyber-Criminal and Scam Networks<\/strong>&#8211; Cyber-fraud groups increasingly use crypto for ransomware, extortion and global scam operations because it <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">offers fast, borderless and hard-to-track payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Key Role in Online Fraud Schemes<\/strong>&#8211; Crypto is now central to job scams, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">sextortion, investment frauds and app-loan scams<\/span>, with victim money quickly converted into crypto and dispersed worldwide, reducing recovery chances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Regulatory Arbitrage and Exchange Opacity<\/strong>&#8211; Many exchanges operate across multiple jurisdictions with different compliance rules, and some Indian platforms have foreign ownership layers, creating opacity and opportunities for regulatory evasion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Enforcement and Forensic Difficulties<\/strong>&#8211; Agencies like ED, CBI, and I4C face challenges such as weak KYC standards, complex wallet tracing, lack of protocols for storing seized crypto, jurisdictional limits abroad, and a shortage of trained investigators. These challenges have even led one agency to store seized crypto with a private firm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Macroeconomic and Financial Stability Risks<\/strong>&#8211; The RBI fears that widespread crypto use could undermine financial stability, weaken monetary-policy control, and disrupt capital-flow management, while high volatility and terror-financing risks deepen concerns. Additionally, high taxes have pushed users offshore, shrinking domestic activity by 97%.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"h5\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What is Crypto Governance in India?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. There is no central legislation<\/strong>, which means crypto has no defined rights, liabilities or consumer protection, and it is not recognised as legal tender.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. The Supreme Court\u2013RBI conflict has created regulatory ambiguity<\/strong>: the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">RBI banned banking services for crypto in 2018<\/span>, the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Supreme Court overturned it in 2020<\/span>, and the government later introduced taxes without creating a regulatory framework.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. The government remains hesitant to regulate crypto<\/strong> because doing so may be seen as granting legitimacy, so only a discussion paper is currently being drafted.<\/p>\n<p>4<strong>. There is no investor protection<\/strong>, as crypto holdings do not have insurance, RBI ombudsman support or SEBI grievance mechanisms, unlike traditional financial products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Offshore platforms operate outside Indian jurisdiction<\/strong>, serving Indian users without taxation compliance or regulatory oversight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Inter-agency coordination is fragmented<\/strong>, with bodies like the RBI, ED, Income Tax Department, MeitY, state police and FIU-IND following different approaches, creating enforcement gaps.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"h6\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What should be the way forward?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. India must enact a comprehensive Crypto Assets and Digital Transactions Act<\/strong> to define asset classifications, licensing rules, consumer protections, Anti-Money Laundering (AML)\/KYC standards and penalties for violations, while clearly distinguishing cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, utility tokens and security tokens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Exchanges should be brought under a mandatory licensing regime,<\/strong> similar to the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">EU\u2019s MiCA framework<\/span>, requiring strict KYC norms, AML checks, travel-rule compliance, long-term data storage and mandatory proof-of-reserves audits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. A regulated system for custody of seized crypto assets is needed<\/strong>, with national standards for secure storage, recovery procedures and liquidation, supported by a government-approved digital asset custodian.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Blockchain forensics capability must be strengthened<\/strong>, with specialised labs, AI-based tracing tools, global analytics partnerships and systematic training for agencies like ED, I4C, FIU-IND and state cyber cells.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Cross-border cooperation should be expanded,<\/strong> using Interpol task forces, FATF networks and bilateral agreements with hubs such as Singapore, the UAE and Europe, given the global movement of illicit funds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. A balanced taxation framework is necessary<\/strong>, including reducing TDS rates, rationalising capital gains taxes and offering compliance incentives to prevent users from shifting to offshore platforms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. A robust consumer protection architecture must be built<\/strong>, with a crypto grievance portal, mandatory insurance for exchange-held assets, transparent risk disclosures and compensation systems for fraud victims.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Stablecoins and DeFi need targeted regulation<\/strong>, including licensing for issuers, reserve audits, transaction reporting and KYC-linked safeguards for high-value DeFi transactions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Public awareness and digital literacy should be improved<\/strong>, especially for young investors, through campaigns highlighting common scams, safe wallet practices and the risks of unverified investment schemes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<article class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])&gt;*]:pointer-events-auto [content-visibility:auto] supports-[content-visibility:auto]:[contain-intrinsic-size:auto_100lvh] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:a81301ce-60eb-4b2f-b7e2-e9fb33b8909a-50\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-48\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\">\n<div class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] thread-sm:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] thread-lg:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\">\n<div class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] thread-lg:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<div class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\">\n<div class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"8c7b2fc9-41b7-4f76-9e8c-f9951b910eaf\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-1\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\">\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"405\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Cryptocurrencies bring useful innovation but also significant risks.
