“We are honoured to have Bachchan as our brand ambassador. Being a crypto investor himself and having launched his own NFT (non-fungible token) recently, Bachchan is well-versed with the crypto space. His knowledge will prove valuable in building trust and credibility amongst new users. We are certain that his association with CoinDCX will help bring greater visibility to the world of crypto and develop a strong brand recall for us,” said Sumit Gupta, CEO, CoinDCX.

Amitabh Bachchan is also the brand ambassador of ‘RBI Kehta Hai’ campaign

The ‘angry young man of Bollywood’ is also the brand ambassador of RBI’s customer awareness programme – ‘RBI Kehta Hai’ or ‘RBI Says’. Through this campaign, the central bank keeps informing the do’s and don’ts that one should follow to transact safely and securely. The megastar was also seen promoting digital banking during the lockdown. 

The superstar is also seen promoting the RBI’s awareness programme through the iconic quiz show, KBC. With Mr Bachchan joining CoinDCX as its first brand ambassador, he will be also seen promoting crypto awareness campaigns. RBI on multiple occasions have raised their concerns about cryptocurrencies, as they are not regulated. Notably, RBI had banned cryptocurrency in April 2018. The Supreme Court in March ’20 had allowed trading in cryptocurrencies. Later, RBI clarified that the circular was no longer valid as it was set aside by the Supreme Court.
