“Cryptocurrencies in India operate in a regulatory grey area, and incidents like the WazirX case highlight the risks faced by investors,” Nathan stated. Despite the absence of a strong legal framework for cryptocurrency investments, he pointed out that investors are not entirely without recourse. Existing laws on fraud, breaches of contract, and negligence can offer some protection, though more robust regulations are urgently needed.
