Indian traders are increasingly investing in cryptocurrency futures and options (F&O) as major exchanges witness a surge in volumes. Vommafi Technology, a trading firm backed by family offices, has allocated 30% of its portfolio to crypto F&Os. However, regulatory uncertainty remains regarding the taxation of these offerings, as investors seek to avoid the 1% TDS imposed by the government on crypto spot trading. Despite this, Indian exchanges are expected to exceed global derivatives trading volumes if more traders start allocating capital to crypto futures. The challenge lies in the regulatory ambiguity and tax implications surrounding crypto F&Os.
