Investment in The Indian Crypto Space

In the Indian crypto market, CoinDCX is currently one of the largest crypto exchanges. Several major international exchanges (Binance, OKEx, and Huobi) have collaborated with CoinDCX to enter the Indian crypto space. Recently, the exchange announced it would invest more than $1 million in funds to develop a crypto ecosystem in the country. Sumit Gupta, CEO of CoinDCX said, “India is a market with a huge potential for cryptocurrencies.”
