A compliant platform returns to the Indian market after two years, with fiat deposits expected to be available in 2026.

Abstract generation in progress

[BlockBeats] There’s some news worth paying attention to—a certain compliant platform is finally about to reopen registrations in India. It’s been more than two years since they last suspended services.

What can users do now? For the time being, only crypto-to-crypto trading is available, meaning users can only swap between cryptocurrencies. However, the platform’s head of Asia-Pacific revealed at India Blockchain Week (IBW) that they plan to let Indian users deposit fiat and buy crypto directly by 2026.

The platform’s journey in India has been quite bumpy. In 2022, just a few days after launching, they were forced to suspend UPI payment functionality—the reason being that the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) didn’t recognize the legitimacy of their business at all. By 2023, they simply shut down entirely and asked users to clear out their accounts.

This relaunch, made possible by a somewhat more relaxed regulatory environment, reopens a door for crypto trading in the Indian market. Whether they can successfully set up fiat on-ramps remains to be seen in 2026.

It's been two years. Are you finally brave enough to enter India again? I think it's still risky; has the regulation loosened over there? It's another coin-to-coin trading scam. 2026 is still a long way off, and they might change their mind again. If you can survive this wave for a year, you'd already be winning.

It took two years to restart, that’s some real patience... But to be honest, launching spot trading first is actually a pretty smart move. Build up a user base first, then gradually work towards fiat channels—this is all about planning the product’s lifecycle.

Things have really been tough in India; it took me two years before I dared to come back.

India really is a hassle. It took two years to recover, and now we have to wait another two years until 2026 to enable fiat deposits. It's a bit exhausting.

Is Indian regulation really gradually opening up? It feels like progress has been very slow in the past two years.

India is really a hassle. It’s been two years and we’re still waiting for a fiat on-ramp. What’s the point of crypto-to-crypto trading?

Only dared to come back after two years, which means the hole still hasn't been filled. The fiat gateway won't open until 2026? This timeline seems a bit dubious.

Fiat deposits won't be available until 2026? By then, how much lower will it drop? Might as well keep waiting, there will always be a lower point.
