“Cryptos may pose the same problem as unregulated chit funds, which take money from people and go bust, a lot of people holding crypto assets are going to be aggrieved,” Former Reserve Bank of India (RBI) governor Raghuram Rajan said.

There are currently over 6,000 cryptocurrencies in the world market. But he also predicts that one or two of these cryptocurrencies would survive and most will perish.

In an interview to CNBC, Raghuram Rajan said, "Only one or two, or at most a handful, would survive, Rajan said. “If things have value only because they will be pricier down the line, that’s a bubble”. “…A lot of cryptos have value only because there is a greater fool out there willing to buy.” "

Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan has said that most cryptocurrencies have no fixed value. There are currently over 6,000 cryptocurrencies worldwide. Among them, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Etherium, Tether, Dodgecoin are more popular.
