Indian federal minister discloses his digital asset holdings for the second consecutive year

PANews September 10th news, according to Decrypt, Indian Federal Minister Jayant Chaudhary's cryptocurrency investment rose 19% to US$25,500 (Rs 21.31 lakh). This is the second consecutive year that members of India’s cabinet disclosed their digital asset holdings, when India’s broader cryptocurrency policy is still in regulatory dilemma. This time he disclosed the situation, while his spouse's portfolio grew by 18% to US$26,800 (Rs 22.42 lakh). Both said the source of funds was "personal savings", but did not specify the type of cryptocurrency they held. Currently, India once again ranks first in the 2025 global cryptocurrency adoption index released by Chainalysis, but the regulatory framework is far behind the grassroots development momentum. Earlier today, India refused to fully regulate cryptocurrency and was concerned about systemic risks.
