MP Raghav Chadha has introduced the Asset Tokenisation (Regulation) Bill 2026 in India’s Parliament. This proposal seeks to establish a legal framework for converting real-world assets like property and commodities into blockchain-based tokens. Its implementation could shift India’s crypto ecosystem from pure trading toward regulated digital finance.
Against a backdrop of global economic uncertainty, India is moving to formalize its digital asset sector. MP Raghav Chadha recently introduced the Asset Tokenisation (Regulation) Bill 2026 to create a legal structure for asset tokenisation.
The bill aims to provide legal recognition to tokenising assets such as property and financial instruments on blockchain networks. As stated by Chadha, it seeks to provide for the legal recognition, regulation, and supervision of asset tokenization in the country. This framework would treat tokens akin to digital title deeds and cover issuance, trading, and settlement.
The legislative effort has garnered positive reactions from the community online. One observer noted that it offers legal clarity, investor protection, and regulatory oversight in one bill.
Chadha’s initiative is also seen as a response to India’s Web3 brain drain. He recently highlighted that unclear regulations have pushed 73% of virtual digital asset trading to foreign exchanges. Approximately 180 Indian crypto startups have relocated abroad, leading to significant potential tax revenue loss.
The proposed law intends to move the market beyond speculative crypto trading. By linking tokens to real-world assets under regulatory oversight, it aims to reduce grey-market risks.
