India’s Crypto Security Mandate: Comply or Get Booted from the Market
New Delhi draws a hard line—audit your cyber defenses or face expulsion from one of crypto's fastest-growing frontiers.
The Regulatory Hammer Drops
India's financial watchdog just put exchanges on notice: implement ironclad security protocols or lose operating licenses. No exceptions, no extensions. The move targets rampant hacking threats and lax infrastructure that've plagued the sector.
Survival of the Fortified
Exchanges scrambling to meet the deadline are pouring resources into penetration testing, cold storage upgrades, and real-time monitoring systems. Those cutting corners? Already getting shown the exit—regulators aren't playing nice.
Market Shockwaves
Trading volumes dipped momentarily as weaker players folded, but majors saw inflows as confidence surged. Finally—a rule that separates serious operators from fly-by-night schemes chasing quick rupees.
Adapt or evaporate. India's done giving chances—now it's demanding fortress-level security or outright bans. Maybe next they'll require actual profits too.
