Methods and Materials :The survey on awareness about the cryptocurrency and its future in India among college students was conducted using google form link in the  year 2020 . We have distributed our survey to 100 college students. SPSS software was used to collect, tabulate, and statistically analyze the replies.
Result: From the obtained data it is evident that 91.74 % are  aware of cryptocurrency whereas 8.26  % are still not aware about the cryptocurrency. From the study population 73.39 % agreed cryptocurrency has a future in India and only 8.40 % agreed it'll be useful in future.
Conclusion : The findings suggest that the majority of the college students are aware of cryptocurrency but they lag in the knowledge of its usability.
