Coinbase News: Exchange Returns to India After Two Years. Here's What to Expect
Coinbase resumed crypto-to-crypto trading in India after a two-year pause and plans to launch fiat on-ramp in 2026, aiming to grow despite a 30% crypto tax.
- After a more than two-year pause, Coinbase reopened its app for registrations in India, restoring direct access for Indian users following its earlier exit.
- After initial setbacks in 2022, Coinbase had to shut Unified Payments Interface support when the National Payments Corporation of India refused to acknowledge it, leading to a 2023 exit and off-boarding millions of Indian customers.
- By registering with the FIU this year, Coinbase engaged with India's Financial Intelligence Unit and ran early-access onboarding while planning to build a 500 plus team.
- Coinbase plans a 2026 fiat on‑ramp, which will let users load money and buy crypto, while Coinbase Ventures invested in CoinDCX at a $2.45 billion valuation.
- Industry comparisons show that strict rules and a 30% crypto tax plus 1% deduction could limit Coinbase's growth, and executives hope the government relaxes these regulations.
