Coinbase is rolling out direct Indian rupee (INR) deposit and withdrawal capabilities for users in India, expanding local access to its platform. The company says it has switched on INR bank transfers through India’s IMPS payments system, allowing customers to move funds between their local bank accounts and the exchange. Coinbase also implements INR order books designed to provide dedicated liquidity for trading in the country. Reports describe the move as part of Coinbase’s effort to better serve India’s growing crypto retail market, with coverage noting the launch covers both spot trading and derivatives access, including perpetual futures (“perps”). Multiple outlets state the rollout follows regulatory clearance, including a nod from India’s FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit), which enables the exchange to operate the new rupee rails. Taken together, the coverage indicates Coinbase is adding local-currency onboarding and liquidity infrastructure to reduce friction for Indian traders while keeping trading options aligned with its spot and futures offerings.
