At the CNBCTV18 Global Leadership Summit, Uday Kotak, the founder and managing director of Kotak Mahindra Bank, has long been a vocal critic of cryptocurrencies. During the summit, he reiterated his stance, stating, “I am not a big fan of cryptos, I am not excited about it.”

This comment came as Bitcoin reached new highs, particularly following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential race. Despite the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies, Kotak remained cautious about the asset class, emphasizing his preference for traditional financial systems.

On the other hand, Sumit Gupta, the co-founder and CEO of CoinDCX, one of India’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges, responded to Kotak’s skepticism with a more optimistic view.

He highlighted that crypto has become one of the most interesting asset classes in the modern financial landscape. Gupta emphasized that the best way to understand crypto is to dive into it firsthand, mentioning CoinDCX’s educational initiative, “Learn Karo Crypto Karo”, which aims to educate users about cryptocurrencies.

Gupta also extended an invitation to Kotak, offering to meet and share insights from CoinDCX’s six years of experience in the crypto space. Gupta’s team has conducted extensive research and operations in the field, and he believes that such an exchange could help Kotak gain a better understanding of the emerging industry.

This exchange between Kotak and Gupta highlights the ongoing divide in the financial sector regarding cryptocurrencies. While Kotak represents traditional banking caution, Gupta stands at the forefront of crypto adoption, illustrating the broader global debate on the legitimacy and future of digital currencies.
