The minister also said that regulation of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is also being considered. The government will soon bring a bill after the approval of the cabinet.

Sitharaman said during the Question Hour in the Rajya Sabha that the intention is to amend the bill.
Regarding advertisements on Cryptocurrency, he said that no decision has been taken yet on banning advertisements. ASCI regulates the advertisement and prepares the guidelines. All its rules are being looked at so that we can see what can be done on ads.
Earlier on Monday, the minister said that there is no proposal to recognize bitcoin as a currency. Furthermore, he added that the government does not collect data on bitcoin transactions.

However, it allows for some exceptions to the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies and the promotion of its use.
