The value of cryptocurrency is also driven by scarcity. This alludes to the cryptocurrency’s finite mechanism. The Bitcoin protocol sets the maximum amount of BTC that can be mined at 21 million.

This question does not have a plain vanilla answer in ‘yes’ or ‘no’, as the government and the central bank still look unsure as to how to deal with this new-age phenomenon. In 2018, The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) came out strongly and kind of banned these tokens in India. Then in 2020, the Supreme Court of India reversed the RBI ban.

After this, Indian banks have tried to curtail transactions with crypto-exchanges as, in their view, they are governed by RBI. But later, RBI mentioned that banks cannot quote its 2018 ban to customers as it was overruled by the Supreme Court, paving the way for crypto trading to continue in India.
Google Trends returns data with different granularity depending on the historical time interval queried: daily search volumes are returned for queries under 90 days and weekly search volumes for queries of length over 90 days. However it is possible to reconstruct daily data for long time intervals using a combination of daily and weekly data and the method described and validated by [4]: Daily data is retrieved in buckets of under 90 days, and weekly data is also retrieved for the complete time interval of interest. Then using the daily data, the percentage change of each day in a week from the first day of the week is calculated; these percentage changes are then applied to the weekly data to build a daily time series over a longer period.

Stablecoins peg their values to various fiat currencies or assets, such as gold. Most often pegged one-to-one with the U.S. dollar, stablecoins give users a way to sell into an asset carrying the same value as a national currency, but one that can still be transacted and stored in a crypto-esque fashion within the ecosystem.
