The crypto industry in India has the potential to add $184 billion of economic value, in the form of investments and cost savings, by 2030, according to a report from the country’s premier trade body for the tech industry.

The report, entitled “Crypto Industry in India,” was published by the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) in conjunction with Binance-owned crypto exchange WazirX.The “CryptoTech” industry – companies involved in trading, payments, remittances, retail and more – is expected to reach a size of $241 million in India by 2030, and $2.3 billion globally by 2026.The industry currently employs 50,000 people in India, a number which NASSCOM expects to grow to over 800,000 by the end of the decade.This expected exponential growth is likely to be backed by the fast adoption of crypto-related investments by the country’s young population.Crypto investment in India has indeed seen massive growth over the last year, with recent analysis from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis claiming a surge from $923 million to $6.6 billion.This has taken place despite a cloud of regulatory uncertainty hovering over the country, with an outright ban proposed by the country’s government at the start of this year.The government subsequently loosened this tough stance, with suggestions in June that bitcoin would be classed as an asset class under a proposed crypto regulation bill.
