As crypto's popularity in India continues to grow, the country's unclear regulatory environment is causing concern. SEBI chief Ajay Tyagi warns Indian mutual funds to avoid investing in cryptocurrency offerings until there is 'clarity.'
The Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Board of India , Ajay Tyagi, urged mutual funds to avoid investing in crypto-related assets as the government considers new cryptocurrency rules. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Tyagifirms to refrain from investing in funds linked to crypto assets until there is clarity on the policy and regulatory framework.
“Those who have invested in mutual funds, — in companies related to crypto-assets or foreign firms through fund-of-funds — my thinking is that till we get clarity on its policy, businesses should not make such investments,” said the SEBI chairman. While the regulatory environment for cryptocurrency in India is currently murky, the country has already witnessed an exponential rise in its popularity. It's also unclear if crypto investments come with any tax obligations in the country.
Tyagi's remarks come following the recent event involving an asset management firm , Invesco Mutual Fund. Despite Sebi'sThere have been talks about cryptocurrency being discussed in Parliament during the winter session recently. The talks gained further momentum following a parliamentary standing committee on finance's meeting with cryptocurrency stakeholders to identify possible opportunities and challenges that may occur when it comes to crypto financing and investment.
