India's Crypto Market Shifts Towards Stablecoins Amid Regulatory Concerns

India's cryptocurrency market has an unexpected trend - users are relying more on stablecoins than Bitcoin exposure. According to data from WazirX, USDT and USDC drove 38.5% of its H1 2026 trading volume, surpassing Bitcoin and other Layer-1 assets at 28.4%. This indicates a strong adoption of dollar-linked liquidity in India's crypto ecosystem.

This phenomenon allows users to link their INR with global crypto markets without needing direct exposure to Bitcoin's price fluctuations. However, the RBI has warned that dollar-linked stablecoins may weaken monetary control and capital-flow rules, posing regulatory risks for exchanges and broader token adoption.
