"It is my responsibility to remind investors who invest in cryptocurrencies that they are doing it at their own risk." The Governor stated, "These cryptocurrencies have no fundamental value."

The RBI further stated that the Digital Rupee will function similarly to the paper rupee, with the exception that the form will be electronic or digital. "Digital rupee will be kept in the gadget in the same way as paper rupee is kept in your wallet. There isn't any distinction between the two. The sole distinction between Digital Rupee and bitcoin is that the Digital Rupee would be issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). This, like the rupee note, will be included in the obligation.
