The team of payments focused cryptocurrency Dash, today announced a strategic partnership with Bitbns, a cryptocurrency exchange in India, to launch a DASH / INR fiat pairing. Through the partnership, customers of Bitbns will now be able to buy and sell Dash instantly using InstantSend on the exchange, making Dash accessible to the growing Indian cryptocurrency community.

Launched in December of 2017, the Bitbns platform allows users to buy and sell 61 digital assets including Dash through its easy-to-use interface. Bitbns accepts users globally, and additionally offers a peer-to-peer exchange option which allows participants to trade directly with each other.

The partnership will result in Bitbns integrating Dash’s InstantSend technology into its platform, which dramatically shortens the delay in confirmation of transactions and offers near instantaneous transactions to take place in the Dash network. Additionally, Dash and Bitbns will be hosting two trading competitions for users as part of their new partnerships.
