Updated: Dec 25 2025- Cautious Stance: Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, revealed in a podcast that he currently holds no Bitcoin and plans to explore the cryptocurrency by 2026, a cautious approach that may influence Indian investors' perceptions of Bitcoin.
- Muted Market Reaction: Despite Kamath's statement sparking discussions about Bitcoin, market reactions have been relatively calm with no reported price shifts, indicating an expectation for market maturity and regulation in the cryptocurrency space.
- Shifts in Investment Patterns: Ray Dalio expressed skepticism about Bitcoin in the same podcast, preferring gold, which may encourage investors to reassess asset allocations, reflecting the volatility of cryptocurrencies compared to traditional assets.
- Strategic Implications: Kamath's exploration plan signals thoughtful consideration of evolving market dynamics, potentially influencing the acceptance of cryptocurrencies in India as regulatory frameworks develop over time.
