What began as a taxation experiment with a 30% levy and 1% TDS has morphed into a regulatory vacuum where investors remain exposed. Offshore migration, systemic risks, and FATF non\u2011compliance now collide with the absence of a framework law. The $230 million hack and rising retail harm show that waiting for industry practice is no longer viable. In this Vishleshan, we decode why India must legislate first, define VDAs clearly, and build a \u201cSEBI for crypto\u201d to protect investors and financial stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Virtual digital assets: it\u2019s time for India to get its regulatory act together\u2014investors need protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong>: &nbsp;India has over 100 million crypto users \u2014 ranked first globally in grassroots adoption for three consecutive years \u2014 yet its regulatory architecture consists of only two pillars: a punitive tax regime (30% flat tax + 1% TDS) and an AML\/KYC framework. A $230 million exchange hack in 2024 left retail users with no statutory recourse; 2026 executive custody case exposed impersonation vulnerabilities with no grievance mechanism in sight. The article is essentially about why India&#8217;s ad hoc enforcement architecture \u2014 FIU-IND notices, URL takedowns, court-confirmed jurisdictional gaps \u2014 cannot substitute for a dedicated legislative framework, and what the building blocks of that framework must be.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Link to the Article<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/opinion\/online-views\/virtual-digital-assets-investors-protection-cryptocurrencies-bitcoin-ethereum-grievance-11781610722605.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mint<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><u>Background: India&#8217;s Current VDA Regulatory Architecture<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Are VDAs?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Virtual Digital Assets are electronically stored, transferable digital representations of value.

It Has Actively Shaped the Regulatory Vacuum.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The article mentions the tax regime as one of India&#8217;s two VDA pillars \u2014 but does not examine how the tax design itself has contributed to the regulatory problem<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The 2022 VDA tax regime was explicitly designed to be&nbsp;discouraging without banning&nbsp;\u2014 the government was unwilling to legitimise crypto by regulating it, but also unwilling to ban it outright. The 30% flat tax (no set-off for losses, no distinction between short and long-term gains) and 1% TDS were intended to suppress trading volumes and slow ecosystem growth while the government &#8220;decided&#8221; on crypto&#8217;s legal status<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The unintended consequence: Indian traders migrated to&nbsp;offshore exchanges&nbsp;in large numbers to avoid TDS, because offshore platforms don&#8217;t deduct at source. FIU-IND&#8217;s October 2025 notices to 25 offshore exchanges and the URL takedown campaign are a direct response to this migration \u2014 which the tax design itself caused<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is a classic policy loop: punitive tax \u2192 user migration offshore \u2192 offshore platforms escape AML compliance \u2192 FIU-IND enforcement campaign \u2192 offshore platforms block Indian users \u2192 users use VPNs to access them anyway \u2192 the problem returns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The article calls for &#8220;balanced taxation&#8221; in one line near the end. This is the correct diagnosis but needs to be stated as the&nbsp;<strong>root cause of the offshore migration problem<\/strong>, not a secondary consideration. Until the TDS rate is reduced significantly (industry has consistently asked for 0.01\u20130.05%), the migration pressure will continue and FIU-IND enforcement will remain a game of whack-a-mole with offshore platforms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>India Has a Regulatory Sequencing Problem. Industry Practice Cannot Substitute for Legislation, But Legislation Cannot Wait for Industry Practice Either.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The article&#8217;s central strategic recommendation is: let industry build best practices (travel rule compliance, transaction monitoring, grievance redressal) \u2192 demonstrate robustness \u2192 regulators formally adopt them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This is a reasonable approach in a stable environment. But it has a sequencing flaw that the article does not identify<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The problem:<\/strong>&nbsp;India&#8217;s crypto regulatory window opens and closes with political cycles. The 2021 Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency Bill \u2014 which would have banned private crypto \u2014 was listed for Parliament but never introduced, because the government couldn&#8217;t build consensus. The 2023 G20 presidency gave India a platform to shape global crypto regulation \u2014 but produced a synthesis paper, not domestic legislation. Each time a window appeared to open, it closed before legislation could pass<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meanwhile, retail users are being harmed&nbsp;right now&nbsp;\u2014 the $230 million hack was in 2024, the impersonation case was in 2026. Waiting for industry practice to mature before legislating means more retail harm in the interval<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The correct sequencing is the&nbsp;reverse&nbsp;of what the article proposes: pass a&nbsp;framework law&nbsp;first (even a thin one \u2014 defining legal status, establishing a regulator, creating a grievance mechanism), then use delegated legislation (rules and regulations under the framework) to incorporate evolving industry practice. This is how SEBI was built \u2014 the SEBI Act 1992 created the framework, and SEBI&#8217;s regulations have evolved continuously for 34 years since<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A &#8220;SEBI for crypto&#8221; \u2014 a dedicated VDA authority with rule-making powers \u2014 can move faster than Parliament and adapt as technology evolves. The article gestures at this but does not name it as the structural solution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The $230 Million Hack Is Not Just a Consumer Protection Case. It Is a Systemic Risk Signal That India&#8217;s Regulators Have Not Priced.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The article presents the July 2024 exchange hack ($230 million) as a retail harm case \u2014 users couldn&#8217;t access funds, had no grievance mechanism, had to navigate foreign insolvency proceedings. This framing is correct but incomplete<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$230 million is approximately \u20b91,900 crore at 2024 exchange rates \u2014 a sum larger than the annual revenue of many mid-sized Indian NBFCs. With 100 million users and growing institutional participation, India&#8217;s VDA ecosystem is now large enough to generate&nbsp;systemic risk&nbsp;\u2014 not just retail harm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The specific systemic risk channels that the article does not identify:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Contagion risk<\/strong>: A large Indian exchange failure (or a large offshore exchange serving Indian users) could trigger simultaneous withdrawal pressure across multiple platforms \u2014 the crypto equivalent of a bank run. The 2022 FTX collapse wiped out $32 billion globally and caused cascading failures across the crypto ecosystem. India has no equivalent of the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) for VDA platforms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forex implications<\/strong>: Indian users holding VDAs on offshore platforms represent capital that has effectively left India&#8217;s formal financial system without going through RBI&#8217;s Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). The scale of this informal capital export is unquantified \u2014 but with 100 million users, even modest average balances on offshore platforms represent a material forex position that sits outside RBI&#8217;s visibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tax base erosion<\/strong>: The 1% TDS was designed to create a transaction trail for income tax purposes. But with users migrating to offshore platforms to avoid TDS, the Income Tax Department is losing both the withholding and the visibility into gains \u2014 creating a growing unreported capital gains problem<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The article frames VDA regulation as an investor protection issue. It is equally a&nbsp;monetary policy, forex management, and systemic risk&nbsp;issue \u2014 and the regulator that needs to be at the table is not just SEBI but also the RBI, which has consistently expressed scepticism about private cryptocurrencies while developing the e-Rupee (CBDC)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><u>The Fine Print \u2014 What the Article Does Not Fully Address<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The RBI&#8217;s position is conspicuously absent from a piece about VDA regulation.<\/strong>&nbsp;The RBI has been the most consistent institutional voice against private cryptocurrencies in India \u2014 its annual reports have repeatedly warned of macroeconomic risks from crypto adoption, and it has explicitly stated that private VDAs pose risks to financial stability and monetary sovereignty. Any VDA regulatory framework will require RBI&#8217;s buy-in \u2014 or a clear legislative decision to override RBI&#8217;s objections and place VDA oversight outside RBI&#8217;s mandate. The article discusses SEBI, FIU-IND, and Parliament but does not once mention the RBI \u2014 which is the single most important institutional actor whose position determines what any VDA law can actually say.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The e-Rupee (CBDC) creates a direct competitive tension with private VDAs that the article ignores.<\/strong>&nbsp;The RBI has been rolling out the digital rupee (e\u20b9) since December 2022. A comprehensive VDA regulatory framework that legitimises private crypto sits in tension with the RBI&#8217;s CBDC ambitions \u2014 because a well-regulated, investor-protected VDA ecosystem makes private crypto more attractive relative to the e-Rupee. The government must resolve this tension explicitly: either private VDAs and the e-Rupee coexist in defined lanes (VDAs for investment\/speculative use, e-Rupee for payments), or one is meant to crowd out the other. The regulatory framework&#8217;s design depends entirely on which choice is made \u2014 and the article does not acknowledge this choice exists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Chainalysis &#8220;first globally in grassroots adoption&#8221; figure needs contextualisation.<\/strong>&nbsp;Chainalysis ranks India first based on a composite index that weights on-chain transaction volume adjusted for purchasing power parity and population. This methodology means India ranks high partly because of its large population and lower PPP base \u2014 not necessarily because Indians are the world&#8217;s most sophisticated or highest-value crypto participants. The 100 million user figure includes casual users, one-time buyers, and dormant accounts. Active, at-risk retail investors are a subset \u2014 important for policy but not 100 million strong. Using this figure without qualification overstates the urgency in one direction while understating the sophistication gap between Indian retail users and the complexity of the products they are accessing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The &#8220;travel rule&#8221; recommendation is correct but operationally harder for India than the article implies.<\/strong>&nbsp;Implementing the FATF Travel Rule requires VDASPs to share originator\/beneficiary data with counterparty platforms \u2014 but this only works if both the sending and receiving platform are compliant. If an Indian user sends VDAs to a non-compliant offshore wallet, the travel rule breaks down at the receiving end. India has ~25 registered VDASPs with FIU-IND but hundreds of offshore platforms serving Indian users. Until offshore platforms either register with FIU-IND or are effectively blocked (neither of which has been achieved), travel rule compliance by Indian platforms creates a compliance cost without delivering the AML benefit \u2014 because the data chain breaks the moment assets move offshore.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The &#8220;ombudsman-like scheme&#8221; recommendation is the right idea but needs an anchor regulator first.<\/strong>&nbsp;The article calls for an ombudsman for VDA grievances \u2014 similar to the RBI Ombudsman for banking or the Insurance Ombudsman. This is the right retail protection mechanism. But an ombudsman derives authority from a parent regulator. Without first designating which body has primary jurisdiction over VDAs, an ombudsman has no legal standing to adjudicate complaints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>India&#8217;s crypto regulatory story is, at its core, a story of institutional hesitation masquerading as caution. Every major economy that has built a credible VDA framework \u2014 the EU with MiCA, Singapore with MAS licensing, the UAE with VARA \u2014 did so by making a choice: crypto is here, users are exposed, a framework is better than a vacuum. India has spent four years watching retail harm accumulate, user base grow to 100 million, offshore migration accelerate, and courts confirm the jurisdictional gap \u2014 while producing tax provisions and AML circulars but no framework law. The $230 million hack is not an argument against crypto; it is an argument for regulation. The impersonation case is not an argument for more FIU-IND notices; it is an argument for a grievance mechanism with statutory teeth. India does not need to choose between innovation and protection \u2014 every credible VDA regime in the world has found that formula. What India needs is the political decision to stop choosing neither.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> India\u2019s VDA story shows retail harm, systemic risks, and tax gaps.
