India is pushing G20 nations to create a global crypto regulatory framework.
India, currently holding the presidency of the Group of 20 (G20), has ignited robust discussions focused on establishing a global regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies.
India's Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, had earlier called for a collaborative effort among the G20 nations to create a global framework for regulating cryptocurrencies. Modi stressed that emerging technologies such as digital currencies need to be governed by universally agreed-upon rules.

Nirmala Sitharaman, addressing the Global Fintech Fest on September 5th, further fueled these discussions by labeling cryptocurrencies as both a "threat and an opportunity."
Sitharaman emphasized the critical importance of international collaboration in forming a sound financial ecosystem that effectively regulates digital currencies.
Global cooperation is absolutely critical. In an interconnected world, financial technology transcends borders, therefore making cross-border partnerships absolutely crucial.
This push for worldwide collaboration is consistent with India's broader focus on financial security and stability, a message that has been persistently communicated since India assumed the G20 presidency in the last quarter of 2022.
In fact, substantive discussions are ongoing, facilitated by research papers from notable institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Financial Stability Board (FSB), and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Adding to India's increasingly proactive role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) has unveiled plans to launch an India-centric web browser. This new project is set to allow users to digitally sign documents with embedded crypto tokens.
With India at the helm, the G20 nations are actively working on laying down a global framework, marking a crucial step towards worldwide adoption and regulation of cryptocurrencies.
