最新报道:According to TECHINASIA, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's urging of countries to prepare for stablecoin integration has reignited the debate over digital currencies. At the 2025 Global Fintech Festival, Pine Labs CEO Amrish Rau and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Innovation Hub CEO Sahil Kini discussed the potential impact of programmable digital currencies on India's financial system. Rau stated that programmable currencies could improve efficiency and transparency by limiting the use of funds. Kini noted that India's central bank digital currency already supports payments based on specific uses, and that the Reserve Bank of India is piloting digital subsidies for targeted programs. However, he warned that stablecoins could undermine the central bank's control. Both executives emphasized that India's fintech infrastructure lays the foundation for the development of programmable currencies, while questioning the necessity of stablecoins given the rapid development of the local payment system.
