Reliance JioCoin: How to Get the New Cryptocurrency From Mukesh Ambani's Jio Platforms

Jio Platforms has partnered with Polygon Labs to enter the cryptocurrency era. Since the news appeared, JioCoin has become a trending topic on social media platforms.

Mukesh Ambani’s Jio Platforms recently made headlines with its partnership with Polygon Labs to venture into the cryptocurrency domain. Since the news broke out, 'JioCoin' has become a hot topic on social media platforms, particularly X, where users have been posting images of the digital token. Notably, CEO Kashif Raza has also mentioned that JioCoin will likely support mobile recharges and payments at Reliance gas stations. However, it's important to note that there has been no official announcement regarding the launch of JioCoin yet.

Now, a new development has emerged, suggesting that JioSphere web browser users might be able to access JioCoin through their system. However, the company has not yet confirmed this integration. Additionally, there have been reports and screenshots circulating on social media platforms, showing JioCoin on people's phone screens across Android and iOS devices, even though Jio has not officially validated this information. This unexpected appearance of the token has left JioSphere users speculating about its potential.

According to the Reliance FAQ section, “JioCoins are blockchain-based reward tokens that users can earn by engaging with different mobile or internet-based apps as decided by Jio Platforms Limited (JPL) using their Indian-based mobile numbers.”

Essentially, users will be rewarded with Web3 tokens for using Jio apps, which will be automatically credited to their digital wallets. At some point, the Coin might appear in Jio apps like MyJio and JioCinema. This move by Jio comes in light of its recent partnership with Polygon Labs to enhance its blockchain and Web3 services.

While there have been rumors and user reports regarding JioCoin, Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio has not yet provided any official announcements about the JioCoin cryptocurrency, including its functions and plans.

This partnership between Jio Platforms and Polygon Labs is aimed at introducing Indian users to blockchain technology. Through this alliance, Jio customers will be able to access Web3 features, such as enhanced privacy, data self-governance, and innovative new services.

The alliance will leverage Polygon’s Web3 expertise to integrate blockchain technology across Jio's product portfolio. This enables Jio to explore product development for its massive user base of 450 million subscribers. Several Web3 technologies utilize blockchain technology and its components, including digital assets, smart contracts, cryptocurrencies, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and NFTs.

It's also worth noting that all cryptocurrency earnings in India are subject to a 30% tax, along with a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS), which will be applicable to JioCoin transactions. In the wake of the WazirX security breach, many Indians hold a negative perception of cryptocurrencies, as millions of rupees were lost in the incident. However, blockchain-based currencies are expected to see growth globally, with Bitcoin tokens increasing in value over time.
