The country's Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has once again made a big statement regarding cryptocurrencies. Speaking in Parliament on Monday, 18 July, the Finance Minister said that the government wants to ban cryptocurrencies, but for this, it will also need the cooperation of other countries.
The Finance Minister has said that RBI has also been advocating for making strict rules on cryptocurrencies and banning their use. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, while answering a written question in the Lok Sabha, said that the RBI has termed cryptocurrencies as a threat to the monetary and fiscal stability of the country. It has been recommended by the RBI to make a law for this sector. The country's central bank believes that it should be banned immediately.
In response to a written question in Parliament, the Finance Minister has also said that because of the global nature of the digital currency, cooperation between different countries is necessary to prevent violation of rules in its operation. Any law designed to control it can be effective only if there is a spirit of cooperation at the international level to implement it.
Let us tell you that there have been several indications from the government that it wants to make comprehensive rules and regulations to regulate NFTs, digital currency, or cryptocurrencies. According to sources related to the government, this is being discussed. The government may introduce a bill to regulate cryptocurrencies during the monsoon session. However, at present, this bill has not been mentioned in the list of proposed bills to be introduced in Parliament.
According to media reports, a consultation paper on cryptocurrencies will be brought before it is presented in Parliament. In this, the government's stand on digital currency will be indicated. This paper was prepared in May itself. Hopefully, the government will make it public soon.
Let us tell you that taking a tough stance on cryptocurrencies, RBI is also working on launching its digital currency. Hopefully, this will also be announced this year. RBI Deputy Governor T. Rabi Shankar has said that the central bank can eliminate the need for private cryptocurrencies by introducing digital currency.
