India mandates crypto firms to record KYC data for 5 years
India has declared its Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) as the National Agency for cyber security, including digital assets.
CERT becomes the national agency for cyber security
The move gives CERT, a Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology unit, the authority over suspicious bodies and illegal activities in the crypto sector. The government has made it mandatory for crypto businesses like virtual asset service providers (VASPs) to conduct and keep know-your-customer (KYC) records of financial transactions for five years. The 18-years old agency aims to “ensure cyber security in the area of payments and financial markets for citizens while protecting their data, fundamental rights and economic freedom in view of the growth of virtual assets.”This is the first time the government has explicitly mentioned KYC data maintenance. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), and the Department of Telecom (DoT) will all have standards for KYC processes and data.
To establish an open communication channel on these new rules, crypto firms are also required to appoint a point of contact for CERT.
India on the way to regulate crypto
Looking at the ground, crypto investors in the nation are eagerly waiting for a clear set of regulations. While appointing CERT as the national agency for cyber security seems to be a small step toward regulating the crypto sector, the government does not consider it to be a step towards regulation. A significant step that caught the eye of the entire world was the imposition of a 30% tax on crypto investment profits. However, a senior official at the finance ministry said taxation does not make crypto investment legal in India.Recently, during an interaction with students and faculty at Stanford University in California, the Finance Minister of India, Nirmala Sitharaman, said that the government cannot rush the crypto regulation process. She added:
“There is impatience outside saying what are you doing about crypto… I understand the impatience, but I’m sorry, that’s how it is going to be.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
