Despite strict regulatory measures looming over the digital currency adoption in India, investors have managed to escalate holdings in the crypto market by leaps and bounds.
As per a report published by Chainalysis, Indian investors have driven a 19,900% increase in cryptocurrency investments, taking the total holdings from somewhere around $200 million to over $40 billion in the last year.
This development has taken place amidst strong opposition from the central bank over the introduction of digital currency in India’s financial market. Along with this, a proposed ban on trading cryptocurrency is also a threat to investors in the nation.
The market trend in crypto investments took an upturn during the middle of 2020, before advancing into a parabolic curve. The latter was a consequence of new heights reached in terms of ATHs (All Time High’s) by various prominent digital coins by the end of the fourth quarter. The shift in the market trends correlated with India’s Supreme Court ruling to end the prohibition on working relationships between the banking sector and digital currency platforms in March 2020.
According to Sandeep Goenka, the founder of crypto exchange platform Zebpay, increased interest in Bitcoin and Altcoins has been shown by individuals between the ages of 18 to 35. Additionally, a preference toward digital currency over gold was also strongly observed.
This inclination toward investing in digital coins can be attributed to the highly simple process of going online and purchasing crypto, without having to verify. It is also fairly transparent, and the possibility of higher returns within shorter periods of time is a definite factor in attracting investors. On the other hand, the procedure of buying and investing in gold is a more complicated one.
