India Must Adopt Rupee-Based Stablecoin for Payment Leadership
Imagine money that can be programmed to do things automatically, like paying someone when a certain task is done.
That's the idea behind programmable payments.
India has great payment systems, but the world is moving to this new technology.
Countries like the US are using something called stablecoins, which are like digital money tied to the value of regular money.
India is trying out its own digital money too, but to stay ahead, it needs to create a stablecoin based on the Indian rupee.
This will help make payments easier and more automated, especially with the rise of AI.
India's payment systems are world-class, but face new challenges.
Programmable payments use code to automate transactions based on set rules.
The US and others are adopting programmable money, using stablecoins.
India is exploring Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) and e-Rupi.
