  • DPI Collaboration: India signs MoUs with seven countries for digital public infrastructure and advances discussions for cross-border acceptance of UPI QR.
  • Global Social Impact Fund: PM Modi proposes a $25 million initial contribution for a global Social Impact Fund, with detailed contours to be revealed soon.

A complete system has to be setup for effective regulation of cryptosystems and its application.
