Virtual Digital Assets (VDAs) and the broader Web3 ecosystem are increasingly influencing the next phase of the global digital economy. In recent years, discourse around these technologies has evolved from niche innovation circles to a more central stage in policy discussions. Their increasing prominence in multilateral forums such as the G20 underscores the need for coordinated global approaches to regulation, particularly in areas such as financial integrity, consumer protection, and market stability.
India stands at a unique inflection point in this journey. With a vibrant base of entrepreneurs, developers, and users, the country has emerged as one of the most dynamic markets for Web3 innovation. At the same time, policymakers have adopted a consultative approach, balancing the need to mitigate risks with the opportunity to foster technological progress. In this context, parliamentary discourse serves as an important barometer of policy direction, reflecting both the opportunities and concerns associated with this emerging sector.
This 2025–26 edition of the Parliamentary Q&As compendium brings together these discussions in a single, accessible format. By curating parliamentary questions and answers on blockchain, Web3, and VDAs, it aims to serve as a useful reference for policymakers, industry stakeholders, researchers, and the wider public. It builds on previous efforts and captures the most recent developments in parliamentary engagement on the subject.
We remain grateful to the Secretariats of both Houses of Parliament for enabling public access to these records. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Hon’ble Members of Parliament, Ministers, and officials of the Government of India for their continued engagement in advancing informed and constructive dialogue on this sector.
Happy reading!
