Conflict of interest, Indian style
Despite the fact that the Indian government is extremely cautious and treats cryptocurrencies with a significant share of negativity, the country's cryptocurrency market continues to grow and develop.
The number of crypto enthusiasts in one of the most populated countries in the world is steadily growing. Moreover, according to the latest Finder research report, India is the leader in the number of people who have experienced NFT gaming and engaged in the P2E sector of the crypto market, with a response rate of 42%.
