About CoinDCX
CoinDCX is an Indian centralized exchange founded in Mumbai in 2018 and built around rupee rails: users fund accounts through UPI, IMPS and NEFT, and the venue offers spot on more than 500 assets, futures with leverage up to 100x, an OTC desk and staking, plus quarterly proof-of-reserves reports. It holds FIU-IND registration as a reporting entity, deducts transaction tax as Indian rules require, and entered the Middle East and North Africa through its acquisition of BitOasis.
Clients are Indian retail investors and smaller traders, and its position links local-currency onboarding with tax reporting; the difference from global venues is rupee settlement and local tax handling. In July 2025 attackers posing as recruiters used social engineering to plant malware on an engineer's device and stole about $44 million in customer assets, after which the exchange tightened device controls and withdrawal approvals.
CoinDCX, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Mumbai, is one of India's leading cryptocurrency exchanges. Its key milestones include: In 2020, it launched DCX Learn to promote crypto education, and received investment from Coinbase Ventures in 2021, becoming India's first crypto unicorn. In October 2025, Coinbase received regulatory approval to acquire a minority stake at a $2.45 billion valuation, marking a significant step in mainstream institutional adoption. The exchange also faced major challenges: in July 2025, it suffered a $44 million hack due to a server breach, with an engineer later arrested for alleged involvement. In March 2026, its founders were questioned in an impersonation fraud case but were ruled not guilty by the court, highlighting the severity of phishing scams in India. Earlier, in 2022, the TRON ecosystem project APENFT landed on the platform, expanding its NFT services. These events collectively shaped CoinDCX's journey as a resilient player navigating growth, security, and regulatory scrutiny in the Indian crypto landscape.
In 2026, CoinDCX's user and compliance metrics kept climbing. Its September transparency report showed an investor protection fund of 57.07 million rupees, 17.26 million rupees in tax deducted at source for the month, up 50.26% month over month, and 23.12 million registered users; the August figures were 51.53 million rupees, 11.49 million rupees and 22.85 million respectively.
On the product side, CoinDCX launched XAUT gold options in September, supporting daily and weekly expiries, portfolio margin, trading from 0.1 lots and zero fees; in August it listed CASHCAT, RWA, PIPEDOG, TROLL, PONS, BAS and PYBOBO while delisting HFT, PYR and VIC, and in October it delisted FORTH, ICX, PUSH, VAI and VENOM.
CoinDCX plans to build gold and commodity derivatives into a second product line, make proof-of-reserves disclosure routine before 2027, and rework hot wallet tiering and address rotation.
