India’s central bank starts fintech division

India’s central bank is setting up a FinTech department to drive innovation, oversee the exchange of cryptocurrencies and develop regulations for the release of its upcoming central bank digital currency (CBDC). 

“You can expect much more action from Mr. Ajay Kumar Choudhary towards the Central Bank Digital Currency. This may signify a shift from the RBI’s stance towards fast-tracking CBDC piloting,” a source told CoinDesk.
