India-EU Free Trade Agreement Finalized on 27 January 2026 May Shape New Delhi's Crypto and Stablecoin Rules

India and the European Union concluded their Free Trade Agreement on 27 January 2026 after negotiations that began in June 2022, opening wider access for EU exports to India's 1.45 billion-strong market. The pact could influence how New Delhi refines its strict crypto tax regime and broader digital asset rules as the industry heads into India's 2026 budget debate. Observers are also watching how the agreement interacts with global trade tensions and Bitcoin's price, which is currently below $88k.
