    Indian Olympic Medal Winners to Get Free Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)

    An Indian-based cryptocurrency exchange plans to provide digital asset exposure for free to local athletes who win medals at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

    The cryptocurrency platform Bitbns intends to open a systematic investment plan (SIP) in digital assets for Indian athletes who win medals at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics. The exchange will reportedly grant around $2,700 in crypto for gold medal winners.

    ‘Faster, Higher, Stronger’ And Earn Crypto

    The Economic Times reported that Indian athletes at the Olympic Games could receive cryptocurrencies as a gift if they manage to win a medal at the tournament in Tokyo.

    The trading venue that will reportedly provide the offer is Bitbns. The first athletes that can get cryptocurrency exposure for free are the winners Mirabai Chanu and PV Sindhu. The former won a silver medal in 49 kg women’s weightlifting while the latter acquired bronze in the women’s singles badminton at the Tokyo Olympics.

    Bitbns plans to roll out a SIP account and grant nearly $2,700 in digital assets for Olympic champions, $1,350 for silver medal winners, and $675 for bronze medalists. It will transfer the amount into their accounts, and after completing the Know Your Customer (KYC) norms, the athletes will have exposure to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

    The trading venue explained that it would structure the SIP for a 3-5 year period, and thus the medal winners will be able to generate profits in the long term through Bitbns. Gaurav Dahake – the Chief Executive Officer at the platform – noted:

    “Bitcoin and Ethereum have been the best-performing assets in the last decade, and have given exceptional returns and we aim to get our winners indulge in this rewarding journey.”

    Indians Love Cryptocurrencies

    According to a recent research, Indian residents increased their digital asset investments from $200 million in 2020 to $40 billion for the first six months of this year, indicating that their appetite for cryptocurrencies surged significantly.

    What is even more impressive is that Indians, who are well-known gold admirers, started switching their investment strategies from the precious metal to virtual currencies. A local investor explained:

    “I would rather put my money in crypto than gold. Crypto is more transparent than gold or assets and yields higher returns in a shorter period of time.”

    The survey added that the number of people who trade cryptocurrencies in India is 15 million. It significantly surpasses a well-developed country such as the UK, for example, where 2.3 million individuals have entered the market. Sandeep Goenka – the co-founder of the platform ZebPay – revealed the reasons why the second-most populated country saw this massive increase:

    “They find it easier to invest in crypto than gold because the process is so much simpler. You go online, you can buy crypto, you don’t have to verify it, unlike gold.”
