India's #crypto arc in a global perspective: India lags the world by an average of 2-3 years in terms of #crypto #regulatory framework development. We are now on the 3rd Inter-Ministerial Committee on crypto. Some pts from my session at #HODLConference2021 @IAMAIForum
India's adoption of #cryptocurrency is ramping up exponentially, signalling a clear demand for these tokens in the country. India recently ranked a whopping second on Chainalysis's Global #Crypto Adoption Index @chainalysis @SEBI_India @nsitharaman @RBI @NPCI_NPCI
However, the market cap of #India #crypto projects are approx. $12 billion USD which is a small fraction of the global market cap which stands at approx. $2 trillion USD @0xPolygon @WazirXIndia @PersistenceOne @QuickswapDEX @FrontierDotXYZ @UniLend_Finance @TheMahaDAO
This scenario continues in the #fundraising segment. Indian blockchain startups in #DeFi so far have done big raises which overall still constitute only 2% of the total value globally in 2021

India's regulatory development on crypto has lagged the world by an average of 2-3 years, primarily because of delayed internal deliberations. However, a good framework right now can up the advantage significantly for India. @DILIPtheCHERIAN @SandeepParekh

The latest #OCC guidance allowing settlement through #stablecoins is exciting but with many side effects. There are threads that link it to the #Bitcoin price and ATHs, #Tether ,#Libra , #JPMorgan #WallStreet , #DCEP. I'm watching out for 6 aspects 👇1/n
1 - What most have caught on to is that stablecoins getting linked to banks will eventually make them more regulated and justify full AML/KYC disclosures. This will eventually be required everywhere, not just in the US. Another impact would be on reserve management..2/n
2 - There are few credible audits on the reserves of stablecoins. This will have implications for the #Bitcoin price. Many are aware that Bitcoin rice pumps are often correlated to heavy #Tether minting and movements from whale wallets. 3/n

#BeyondHeadlines: There are not-so-obvious global reasons why the #OilMarketCrash is NOT good for #India.

Heavy #QE/ currency pressure + Intense #geopolitical tension

= #India, importer & friend to all oil producers, in the crosshairs.

Thread on these impacts of #OilPrice 👇 Image
US #oilprice crashed negative for the 1st time in history. West Texas Intermediate (a US crude) traded as low as -$40.32 a barrel. So far the bulk of the losses are in US crude, -200 to -1000%! Global (Brent) crude has not gone down as much because global storage still exists.
#COVID19 #lockdown has sharply cut all travel & thus demand for oil. Excess supply of oil resulted in a shortage of #storage space, esp in North America. As they & slowly the rest of the world run out of storage, the demand for future oil contracts (futures) goes down sharply

4 lesser known truths about the big #Facebook #RelianceJio deal:

1. Facebook struggled with regulation for 3 years in trying to launch #WhatsApp Pay bcoz of privacy issues+blocking by high access of PayTM etc. So FB made a deal with the big daddy of Indian companies with access.
2. The recently launched NUE framework by the #RBI is possibly a big end game being targeted by the partnership. This framework allows for parallel payment infrastructure to UPI being set up countrywide. $5.7 bn is cheap for this scale of access & profit

3. Privacy debate would kick up to the next level, now that whatsapp/facebook data + payment data + telecom data from Jio could be shared. Whatsapp has already cleared the data localization hurdle by setting up servers locally.

Imp pts for every observer in India/abroad in short clips:

Part 1 - Analyzing Leaked docs

1. Pg cites fine or 1-10 yrs for SPECIFIC activities
2. No definitions! Draft clearly not ready for legislation (1/n)
Part 2 - Understand the policy process

1. Draft doesnt = ban, until it clears Finance Minister & Parliament vote.

2. Public consultation NOT mandatory. Ask for it.

3. WRITE (>tweet) to folks mentioned in the vid

#India #Crypto #ban #regulation (2/n)
Part 3: Understand the existing baseline in India

Esp intl folks @PeterMcCormack

- Instant payments/settlement already exist
- Free/mobile banking already exist
- Crypto must solve the right probs from a govts perspective
