CoinSwitch Launches India’s First VDA Handbook for Police & Law Enforcement
At CoinSwitch, our mission has always been clear: make crypto safe, simple, and accessible for every Indian. As crypto adoption grows in big cities, small towns, and beyond, we recognise that the responsibility to support this growth doesn’t lie with users alone, it lies with the entire ecosystem, including service providers like us.
One of the most important parts of that ecosystem is India’s law enforcement community. They are the frontline protectors in an increasingly digital world, and they deserve the right tools to deal with emerging challenges.
That is why we created Virtual Digital Assets Decoded, India’s first comprehensive and approachable VDA handbook designed specifically for police, cybercrime units, and policymakers.
Why We Created This Handbook
Investigating crypto cases can be confusing. Officers have to deal with wallets, exchanges, blockchains, and technical data that aren’t always easy to interpret. There is no single place that explains everything in a clear, straightforward way.
This handbook fills that gap.
It explains:
- What VDAs are
- How transactions work
- Common fraud patterns
- How to trace on-chain activity
- Case studies from real investigations
- Best practices for handling evidence
The handbook will be shared with police stations and cybersecurity units across India so officers can use it directly while working on cases.

Our Work With Law Enforcement So Far
The handbook is part of a much larger effort at CoinSwitch to support India’s safety and regulatory ecosystem.
Over the past few years, we have:
- Conducting 35+ workshops and trainings on blockchain tracing and crypto fraud
- Partnered with police teams across multiple states
- Assisted regulators by advocating for balanced, practical crypto policies
- Provided a dedicated support channel for police: [email protected]
These efforts come from our belief that the crypto industry and law enforcement must work together to protect users and strengthen the ecosystem.
What’s Next for CoinSwitch
We’re not stopping here.
Our next steps include:
- Growing our training programs across more states
- Building deeper, long-term partnerships with cybercrime units
- Publishing more easy-to-use guides and resources
- Supporting policymakers with timely, accessible information
- Establishing a knowledge ecosystem for VDA investigations across India
Our goal is simple: help make India’s crypto ecosystem safer, stronger, and better informed.
Closing Thought
Crypto is new, fast, and constantly evolving. By launching Virtual Digital Assets Decoded, we aim to bridge the gap between technology and the people who protect citizens every day. This is a step toward shared understanding, better coordination, and stronger digital safety across India.

STRF Has Performed Best During the Recent Bounce
The post STRF Has Performed Best During the Recent Bounce appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Strategy’s (MSTR) senior perpetual preferred stock, STRF, is increasingly standing out as the company’s most successful credit instrument since its launch in March. Trading at $110, STRF has risen 36% from issuance and has rebounded 20% from its Nov. 21 low of $92. That date also marked bitcoin’s local bottom near $80,000, highlighting the strong correlation between STRF and bitcoin. STRF occupies the top tier of Strategy’s preferred structure. It pays a fixed 10% annual cash dividend and features governance rights plus penalty based step ups if payments are missed. Even with its premium pricing pushing the effective yield down to about 9.03%, demand remains strong due to the security’s senior protections and long duration credit profile. In late October, executive chairman Michael Saylor highlighted a growing credit spread between STRF and the junior STRD. The spread measures the extra yield investors demand to hold higher risk junior securities, which is now at 12.5%. At the Nov. 21 low, that differential widened to an all time high of 1.5 as investors crowded into senior exposure, STRD was trading as low as $65. The spread has since normalized to around 1.3. Divergence is now visible across Strategy’s preferred suite. STRC, has seen four dividend rate increases to sustain investor interest. Strategy’s equity has also rebounded, climbing from a Dec 1 low of $155 to about $185, reflecting improved sentiment across both the company’s balance sheet and the bitcoin market since announcing a $1.44 billion cash buffer resevere for the preferred dividend payments.
