By the time Indian companies and entities get the regulatory conviction they need to jump buying bitcoin in greater sums, will the price be so high that they will only be capable of paying for a fraction of what they could purchase today?

In 2020, a quantity of public companies such as Square and MicroStrategy made captions for purchasing great amounts of Bitcoin to hold as a standby asset. No Indian company has completed so yet. As Bitcoin possession grows in the US, the European Union, South Korea, Japan and even China, several Indians are viewing and questioning when their turn will come.

How plentiful bitcoin do Indians own? Affording current estimates, unevenly 5 million Indians own or have possessed bitcoin or other crypto assets. By inducing from the volumes on ZebPay and our partners in the Indian crypto industry, we can guess the determined amount in Indian wallets.

Our best estimate is that Indians own less than 1% of the world’s Bitcoin. We can say for certain that Americans own much more than 1% of the overall supply. The same is correct for the EU, Japan and China. There will soon be long-term haves and have-nots in Bitcoin. India has a chance to connect the haves, but time may be running out.

A moment ago, the World Economic Forum and Blockchain company Chainlink printed a report on joining traditional infrastructure with Blockchain technology.

Across India nowadays, hundreds of innovators are occupied with Blockchain-based solutions to some of the country’s most pressing difficulties. They could lower costs, decrease corruption, increase presence and create jobs.

Nil is more in effect Indian than innovation. By concluding the Bitcoin gap and generating healthy regulation that encourages innovation and guards citizens, India can advantage a long-term economic benefit.
