What To Expect

Despite the lack of regulations in India, many chose to invest in cryptos in the hopes of getting returns that are higher than any other asset class. Youngsters around the world have seen cryptocurrencies a lot like a movement to pull back the controls from governments, regulators, or any kind of authorities. Over the past few years, low interest rates have left young Indians with no real investment options. As a result, Indian crypto exchanges registered millions of users for the first time, by the end of 2021.

While the crash of 2022 is a first for many of these young investors and a lot of withdrawal is happening, experts say that more than the young investors, boomers, i.e., those born between 1946 and 1964, are more concerned about this cycle.
