Indian Crypto Leaders Push for INR-Pe­gged Stablecoin to Shield Monetary Sovereignty
At a recent BFSI summit, crypto industry leaders urged Indian regulators to issue an **INR-pegged stablecoin**, citing the need to protect monetary sovereignty. They argued that such a coin could reduce remittance costs, strengthen domestic payments infrastructure and lessen reliance on dollar-linked stablecoins. 
Several participants called this a ‘new UPI moment’ for digital payments, emphasizing that an INR-backed digital asset could align innovation with national financial interests.
