In a report entitled “Into The Cryptoverse India” released by KuCoin, an in-depth analysis was made about the development of crypto and blockchain in the Asian country. The crypto market in India has been projected to reach $241 million in 2030 despite authorities imposing a 30 percent tax on all income received in digital assets.

This makes up 15 percent of the total population aged between 18 to 60 years. Also, 10 percent of the population is planning to invest in crypto in the next 6 months according to the report.

Following the recent market pullback, investors, especially those who bought at the peak have been hit hard. However, the survey discloses that half of the crypto investors are planning to increase their holdings in the next 6 months. 

It was also observed that most of the people have little knowledge of the market as 41 percent stated that they are not sure the type of crypto investment product to choose.
