Coinbase has reopened its app registration for users in India after a two-year suspension, allowing cryptocurrency trading on its platform. The move marks a significant step for the exchange, which had previously halted operations due to regulatory challenges. At the India Blockchain Week, John O'Loghlen, Coinbase's Director for Asia Pacific, announced plans to enable fiat currency deposits in 2026, facilitating direct purchases of cryptocurrencies by Indian users. Coinbase initially launched in India in 2022 but quickly faced setbacks when the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) did not support its use of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). This led to a complete operational shutdown in 2023, with users being asked to withdraw their funds. The recent reopening of registrations signals Coinbase's renewed commitment to the Indian market, with a strategic plan to integrate fiat transactions in the near future.
