The post Crypto News: All You Need to Know About JioCoin by Mukesh Ambani appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
JioCoin, a reward-based token introduced by Jio Platforms—owned by Indian business tycoon Mukesh Ambani—has created a stir among India’s cryptocurrency community. The launch has sparked intense discussions, with many wondering if JioCoin could change the Indian crypto markets.
But what exactly is JioCoin, and why is it causing such a stir? Here’s what you need to know!
JioCoin is a reward-based token, launched on the Polygon blockchain. It’s integrated into the JioSphere browser, where it currently rewards users for browsing with the platform. This initial use has raised curiosity about whether the token will eventually have more significant roles in the future.
Looking forward, some believe JioCoin could eventually be used for mobile recharges or services at Reliance outlets. However, Aditya Singh, a well-known crypto influencer in India, points out that JioCoin appears to fit India’s unclear crypto laws as a non-tradable, soul-bound reward token.
Some have expressed serious concerns about the lack of transparency of Jio’s token. Certain people Despite the excitement, JioCoin has raised questions about its transparency. Critics have compared it to the Brave browser’s BAT token, noting similarities but questioning the true value and use of JioCoin. Some even see it as a marketing gimmick rather than a meaningful innovation.
These concerns highlight the uncertainty surrounding the token’s long-term potential.

India’s regulatory framework presents obstacles for JioCoin. With a 30% tax on crypto gains and a 1% TDS (Tax Deducted at Source), the country’s crypto laws are less supportive of widespread adoption. These regulations could make it harder for JioCoin to thrive in the Indian market.
JioCoin’s launch represents an ambitious step by Jio Platforms into the world of crypto, blockchain, and Web3. While it’s sparked a lot of interest, the future of JioCoin depends on how well it can address transparency concerns, prove its value, and navigate India’s tough regulations.
As the project develops, its impact on India’s crypto ecosystem will become clearer.
