India's Central Bank Supports "Containment" Strategy for Crypto Assets; Ban Option Still Under Consideration Senior officials from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) submitted opinions to the Indian Parliament's Standing Committee on Finance, supporting a "containment strategy" leaning towards prohibition for crypto assets, and recommending that banks and other regulated financial institutions remain isolated from crypto assets and privately issued stablecoins. The RBI stated that prohibition remains one of the policy options recognized by the international standard-setting framework; adopting a traditional regulatory framework for crypto assets could give speculative products legitimacy and create a "false sense of security" for users. The RBI also warned that large-scale adoption of stablecoins could undermine India's monetary sovereignty and financial stability. At the same time, the RBI recommended that policymakers distinguish between speculative crypto assets and the tokenization of regulated financial instruments such as government bonds and corporate bonds, to avoid restricting tokenization innovation.
