Government Reportedly Mulling Stablecoin Adoption in Potential Policy Shift Even as RBI Flags Concerns

The move comes as India continues developing its digital currency plans through the RBI’s CBDC and weighs concerns around financial stability, compliance and consumer safeguards. The evaluation reflects a broader rethink of how blockchain-based assets may fit into India’s financial system.
