CoinSwitch has become the first Indian crypto exchange to surpass 20 million registered users.
The accomplishment comes amidst a notable resurgence in user activity in India, which can be attributed to several factors.
The approval of Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States, the potential approval of Ethereum ETFs, and the upcoming Bitcoin Halving event have all contributed to the bullish sentiment in the market.
CoinSwitch has witnessed a remarkable growth in user registrations, with numbers increasing fivefold since the beginning of 2024, surpassing the daily average user growth recorded in 2023, according to a report from Businessline.

“To be the most beginner-friendly crypto trading app has been the priority at CoinSwitch since day one. The 2-crore milestone — a majority of whom are first-time crypto investors — is a validation of these efforts, as well as a reminder to keep building and iterating for the users.”
To celebrate this milestone, CoinSwitch has announced a giveaway where a lucky user will receive ₹20,000 worth of Bitcoin every hour.
