Economist Sharad Kohli welcomed the government's decision to introduce the Cryptocurrency Bill in the upcoming winter session of Parliament, stating that this was a much-awaited decision as there is no institution to regulate the movement of the digital currency.
Kohli said, "I think is a much-awaited bill.
