ABSTRACT
Bitcoin, etherum, doggecoin are a few common names related to cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies are peer-to-peer virtual currencies that are decentralised and bartered. With Tesla's acceptance of this digital currency, it went from being a financial black market to gaining public awareness. The number of bitcoin investors in India has steadily climbed. The 2018 RBI circular, which instructed NBFCs and banks not to deal in currency, posed a threat to investors, prompting the Supreme Court to intervene. From the 2019 bill which bans the cryptocurrency to the 2021 bill banning private cryptocurrency, the situation has shifted slightly, permitting the currency in the Indian market. This articles examines the threat posed by digital currency, and the need to regulate virtual currencies in India.
