Due to regulatory uncertainty, India's Blockchain and Crypto Assets Council is to be dissolved.
The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IMAI) has decided to dissolve the BACC, its Web3 advocacy group. The IMAI believes it should devote its time and resources to other emerging tech sectors that will contribute more immediately to India's digital journey. It will encourage the use of India's upcoming Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). Members were also informed that IAMAI will continue to support BACC activities until the end of July to ensure the completion of any ongoing projects. Industry participants in the crypto and Web3 sectors were disappointed by IAMAI's decision to dissolve the BACC. In recent days, the average daily transaction volume on Indian exchanges has dropped to $5.6 million (roughly Rs. 44 crore).
