    Billionaire Nandan Nilekani: Indians Should Be Allowed to Own Crypto

    Amid concerns over a government ban on cryptocurrency, Indian tech billionaire Nandan Nilekani has come out in favor of the use of crypto in India, calling the sector a new “asset class” for citizens. "We should think of crypto as an asset class and allow people to have some crypto," said Nilekani in a Clubhouse session with crypto evangelist Balaji Srinivasan and venture capitalist Karthik Reddy, as per a report on markets outlet Moneycontrol.

    Bank of America, the second-largest bank in the US, slammed Bitcoin in a recent note to clients and questioned the environmental implications of maintaining the asset. Per financial publication The Street this morning, the report, titled “Bitcoin’s Dirty Little Secrets,” argued that Bitcoin had little role to play in an investor’s portfolio. "Bitcoin has also become correlated to risk assets, it is not tied to inflation, and remains exceptionally volatile, making it impractical as a store of we...
