Coinbase CEO Officially Launches Crypto Trading in India
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announces the launch of crypto trading services in India at an event in Bengaluru on April 7. Moreover, the Coinbase CEO intends to simplify crypto transactions and solutions by working with banks, and regulators.
“We are here to celebrate Coinbase’s long-term investment in India. We are committed to working with bank regulators, payment partners, and most importantly, Indian people because they have shown a real spark in cryptocurrency.”
During the event, the company discussed the potential of crypto and Web3 in India. On April 8, Coinbase Ventures will host a startup pitch event in association with Builders Tribe.
Interestingly, Coinbase will introduce the UPI payment mode for crypto transactions, which the company was working on for some time now. The company believes UPI will help expand its foothold in India as the government itself promotes the UPI payment mode.

“While working on the UPI, I saw the power of open and Interoperable networks that can spur innovation, when Coinbase announced the tech hub in India, it excited me.”
