Digital Rupee vs Crypto: What the debate misses about the future of money
India is in the midst of a silent revolution in money. On one hand, we have the Digital Rupee , the Reserve Bank of India 's Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), and on the other, the rapidly growing world of crypto-assets and stablecoins operating on public blockchains. Both are vying to redefine how value is transferred in the digital age. And yet, the ongoing debate—often framed as CBDC vs Crypto—misses the point entirely. Because the real question is not about which technology wins, but who benefits from it. When the debate gets wrong Public discourse often pits the Digital Rupee and crypto against each other—as if they are fundamentally incompatible. The truth is, both are programmable forms of digital money, designed for different purposes, but potentially coexisting in the same future financial system. Crypto Tracker TOP COIN SETS BTC 50 :: ETH 50 -3.77% Buy Smart Contract Tracker -5.49% Buy DeFi Tracker -10.48% Buy Web3 Tracker -10.95% Buy NFT & Metaverse Tracker -12.38% Buy TOP COINS (₹) XRP 193 ( 2.6% ) Buy BNB 56,658 ( 0.59% ) Buy Bitcoin 9,215,509 ( 0.39% ) Buy Ethereum 222,362 ( -1.14% ) Buy Solana 13,227 ( -1.93% ) Buy The Digital Rupee is a sovereign, state-backed currency that retains all the regulatory control of fiat, with some of the benefits of digital settlement—speed, transparency, and auditabilit. Crypto, especially stablecoins and DeFi protocols, represents open, global finance—designed to reduce reliance on intermediaries, enable 24/7 global settlement, and allow innovation at the edges. Did you Know? The world of cryptocurrencies is very dynamic. Prices can go up or down in a matter of seconds. Thus, having reliable answers to such questions is crucial for investors. View Details » But focusing only on the instruments is missing the forest for the trees. What matters most is the end user's experience. Live Events For the user, convenience is king Whether it's a CBDC or a stablecoin, the average Indian citizen wants: Instant settlement Low transaction fees Universal acceptance Interoperability across borders Clear privacy and control over their funds If the Digital Rupee delivers this, it wins. If crypto and stablecoins can do it better, they will continue gaining ground—especially among tech-savvy users, freelancers, SMEs, and NRIs. So far, Digital Rupee usage is modest—with just 19 banks live and around 100,000 daily transactions reported in mid-2024. By comparison, UPI clocks 350 million+ transactions a day, and stablecoins globally settled over $7 trillion in 2023. The bigger problem: Not who builds it, but who controls it Let's zoom out. India built UPI—arguably the most successful public payments infrastructure in the world. But despite being a product of NPCI (a quasi-government entity), UPI adoption is now dominated by three major apps: Google Pay PhonePe (majority owned by Walmart) Paytm (with large foreign ownership) Together, these three control over 94% of UPI transaction volume. So while UPI is Indian in origin, the monetization, data leverage, and platform control rests in the hands of foreign-backed companies. Indian startups in the payments space face high entry barriers, and the market has become increasingly difficult to penetrate due to high compliance, capital, and branding costs. If India repeats the same model with the Digital Rupee—where state infrastructure is handed over to foreign-led platforms for distribution—we will be building Indian rails for global profits, again. India needs a strategic payments agenda To avoid this, India must learn from UPI's journey: Create favorable policies and early access for Indian startups to build on top of the Digital Rupee. Ensure neutral interoperability layers so no single app dominates wallet access or merchant onboarding. Offer incentives and sandboxes for fintechs and Web3 startups to create novel CBDC use cases in sectors like trade, MSME finance, insurance, and mobility. Consider public-private models where infrastructure remains open but innovation is encouraged locally. After all, payments aren't just a technical tool—they are an instrument of economic sovereignty . And whoever controls the interface to money, controls much more than just transactions. It's not Crypto vs CBDC. It's about empowering Indians At the end of the day, the user doesn't care whether their money comes from a central bank node or a smart contract. They care about speed, cost, and usability. A Digital Rupee that settles instantly, works offline, and integrates with UPI? Excellent. A crypto wallet that lets an Indian freelancer receive USD-stablecoins from a US client and cash out into INR at low cost? Also excellent. The key is not to fixate on the rails, but to ensure that the value stays in India, and Indian entrepreneurs are not locked out of building the future. Because if we don't, we risk creating another UPI story—built by India, but controlled by others. And that's a mistake we can't afford to make twice.

Gold prices experienced a slight dip in early trading on Tuesday, influenced by investor caution ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting.

Remove Ads Gold trading strategy Gold traded with a negative bias in Tuesday's early trade as the traders were cautious ahead of the two-day Federal Open Market Committee Meeting (FOMC), which begins today. The domestic prices mirrored international trends, with some profit booking seen after a strong rally that pushed the yellow metal above the Rs 1 lakh mark on the 9:30 am, the August gold futures were trading at Rs 98,869, falling Rs 309 or 0.31%. Meanwhile, prices on the COMEX were hovering around $3,402.90 per troy ounce, down $14.40, or 0.42%.The dollar index (DXY) was trading above 98, up 0.13% against a basket of six major currencies. As the movement on DXY is typically inverse to the gold price , a 1% drop gave a fresh momentum to the and tariffs will continue to fuel the uptrend, according to Jateen Trivedi, Vice President - Commodity Research at LKP Securities , and gold's haven appeal will likely take a northward trajectory amid growing tensions between Israel and Iran. Moreover, the tariffs remain a big conundrum as we are weeks behind the July economic data from the US and India will remain the catalyst. The Street will be watching the developments around the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting , which begins today. The Central Bank will announce its policy decisions on Wednesday. "Any dovish or hawkish surprises can swing gold decisively," Jateen Trivedi India's WPI Inflation (MoM) adds to domestic sentiment and price correlation with said that the rupee weakness, driven by geopolitical uncertainty, is keeping portfolios cautious and he believes that INR could further depreciate, triggering capital outflows and adding to domestic gold demand as a hedge.1) Key Support & Resistance: Gold continues its ascent, recently reaching Rs 1,01,078 with a close near Rs 1,00,305. The recent break above Rs 98,900–Rs 99,000 confirms bullish Levels:-- Rs 99,000 – prior resistance turned near-term support-- Rs 97,000 – secondary support aligning with the 21 EMA-- Rs 93,200 – long-term base, unlikely to be tested unless there's a steep correctionResistance Levels:-- Rs 1,01,300–Rs 1,01,500 – upper zone poised as target-- Rs 1,02,500 – near convergence of upper Bollinger band and historical highsA sustained run above Rs 1,01,500 could pave the way towards Rs 1,02,500+, while a dip below Rs 99,000 would signal short-term weakness.2) RSI (14) at 65.53 – bullish momentum with room to runRSI reads 65.5, comfortably below overbought territory, reflecting strong upward momentum but keeping further upside possible before fatigue sets in.3) Bollinger bands: Gold is riding near the upper Bollinger band, indicating a strong uptrend. With band width expanding, this suggests continuation of the bullish impulse rather than an imminent reversal.4. Moving averages: EMA 8 & EMA 21 show a steady bullish structure-- EMA 8 (red): Rs 99,500-- EMA 21 (yellow): Rs 98,600The price remains well above both EMAs, underscoring a solid upward trend. The current positioning reinforces a buy-on-dips bias.5) MACD: Although the MACD isn't displayed in the chart, prior readings indicated a strong bullish crossover. With the recent rally and rising momentum, the MACD remains firmly above the signal line, supporting further price the dips near Rs 99,000. Gold remains bullish as long as the Rs 99,000–Rs 99,500 zone holds.-- Entry strategy: Buy on dips around Rs 99,000–Rs 99,500-- Stop Loss: Rs 97,000 on closing basis-- Targets: Rs 1,01,500–Rs 1,02,500-- Next target: Rs 1,03,500 if geopolitical tensions persist(Disclaimer: Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.
