Cryptocurrencies are ideal for cross-border transactions, as it involves no fees. Moreover, it offers a peer to peer system which excludes any Government regulation.

Realizing the scope of virtual currencies, the Reserve Bank of India is also proposing to launch its own cryptocurrency by the name of ‘Lakshmi,' after the Hindu goddess of wealth. Which will enable the Government to track every single transaction that is on the central ledger.
