Indian investors embrace crypto, overseas stocks: Is the diversification formula changing? | Mint
Indian investors are slowly moving beyond fixed deposits, mutual funds and local shares. Many are now adding overseas stocks, crypto and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending to their portfolios. This is not about chasing returns alone; it shows a shift from saving first to spreading money across asset classes. Before you join in, check risk, liquidity, rules and tax carefully. Traditional assets are not going away.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Before adding crypto, overseas stocks or P2P lending, see how each one fits your goals, and review its risk, liquidity, regulation and tax treatment. Keep your existing assets where they still serve a purpose.
