India’s Crypto Crossroads: COINS Act 2025 Proposes ’Rights-First’ Framework
India's cryptocurrency policy remains in regulatory limbo, with authorities relying on outdated statutes since the Supreme Court overturned the central bank's ban. The proposed COINS Act 2025 seeks to break this impasse by establishing constitutional-level rights for self-custody of digital assets.
The legislation would mark a significant shift from India's current reactive stance to a structured, rights-based approach. Advocates argue this could position India as a leader in balanced crypto regulation while protecting user sovereignty.
