Indian investors boost overseas equities, crypto investments in 2026

Some people in India who save money are now looking to invest beyond their own country.

They are buying stocks in other countries, such as the United States.

Others are buying cryptocurrency, which is a kind of digital money.

In May 2026, the amount of money sent out of India for investing grew a lot.

The total reached $2.39 billion, and the part used for stocks and debt more than doubled compared with the year before.

Indian investors also traded about $46 billion worth of cryptocurrency in the first three months of 2026.

This happened even though crypto trading fell 11% around the world.

An expert named Vikaas M Sachdeva says the numbers do not show investors choosing one option over the other.

They show that Indians are taking part in many different kinds of investments around the world.

Deciding where to invest still depends on each person's goals and how much risk they can handle.
