Crypto currencies have no underlying value: RBI exec director Vasudevan

Crypto currencies cannot be referred to as "currencies" as they have no underlying value, a central bank official said. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been critical of new-age currencies like bitcoins, saying they pose systemic risk to the financial systems. "Crypto currencies cannot be called currencies as they don't have any underlying value," P Vasudevan, an executive director at the RBI, said during a panel discussion organised by IIM-Kozhikode here. Ultimately it is a call that the government has to take on how to tackle crypto currencies, the official said. Currently, bitcoins have no legal backing in India and investors have to pay a tax on the income earned by trading in them. In the backdrop of the action against Paytm Payments Bank and curbs imposed on some international card providers, Vasudevan said self-regulation can protect the fintech sector better. He also said that mechanisms could be looked at to highlight bad behaviour.

Sebi cautions investors against unregistered cos promising assured returns

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday cautioned investors against placing money with unregistered entities promising assured or exceptionally high returns on investments. While investing in the securities market, investors have been asked to conduct due diligence, verify the registration status of any entity claiming to be a Sebi-registered intermediary, and also verify enforcement action taken by the regulator against any entity.

It further said that investments offering high returns usually involve high risk, including fraud risk, and there can be no guarantees of assured returns in the securities market. This cautionary statement came after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) observed a rising trend of unscrupulous
