A currency that has no physical form but exist digitally, creating headlines all over the world by its volatile nature. Some designate it as new medium of exchange while other question its potential inflationary nature. Crypto currency is not a form of exchange that is initiated recently. It is rooted back in 1983 with names such as e-cash and digi-cash which were the early form of cryptographic electronic money. In current times crypto currency is mostly represented or misinterpreted with Bitcoin. Many are aware of crypto currencies, as terminologies and not as concept. As it is a new form of exchange and operated digitally, hence younger generation have more attraction towards it. This research is to find whether current student generation is aware of this form of exchange and also its role in molding the economy either way. In India Government has already started working on regulatory policies on crypto, therefore research will also include the awareness of students relating to Central or regulatory Bodies’ approach towards crypto currencies.
