IndiaTech Panel Urges Crypto Regulation for Investor Safeguards
Experts in India are saying the country needs clear rules for cryptocurrencies to protect investors.
They talked about the issues in the WazirX case, where Indian investors struggled because the company was based in Singapore.
The panel suggested a special legal process in India to help solve these problems and protect people's money.
They also said that India needs its own rules to make sure crypto companies follow the law, are open about what they do, and provide help if something goes wrong.
The main idea is to build trust and ensure investors are safe in the world of digital money.
