The Indian Supreme Court has rejected a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking regulations and guidelines for cryptocurrency trading in India. The court deemed the petitioner’s demands to be more legislative in nature and noted that the underlying objective of the plea was to secure bail for the petitioner, who is currently in custody in connection with a cryptocurrency case. The court advised the petitioner to approach a different court for bail and highlighted its inability to issue directives on crypto trading regulations. The status of crypto trading in India remains uncertain due to the absence of standardized rules and frameworks. However, India is reportedly working on developing a cryptocurrency regulatory framework based on joint recommendations by the IMF and FSB, which could result in legal legislation within the next few months.
