Ban cryptocurrency, BJP MP Shivakumar Udasi urges Centre - Deccan Herald

Expressing concern over young people losing money in cryptocurrency, a BJP MP Shivakumar Udasi on Monday urged the Centre to ban cryptocurrency immediately.
Participating in the debate on the first batch of Supplementary Demands for Grants 2022-23 in Lok Sabha, Udasi said a lot of people, especially young investors, have booked loss for their investment in crypto following the recent meltdown.
“I hope cryptocurrency will be banned in the country…already RBI has launched e-rupee,” he said, adding that even the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance raised various issues against such kinds of virtual currencies.
Insisting that blockchain technology or digital ledger will be used for future development of the country, he said blockchain technology can be used to check duplicity in land records.
