Paving the way for smoother crypto-to-fiat transactions, Coinbase has officially launched the USDC-INR trading services for Indian users. According to the official release, there will be a phased rollout of this service to other Coinbase products, including Coinbase.com, the mobile app and Coinbase Advanced platforms, soon. Indian users having been verified by the cryptocurrency exchange will be able to use this trading pair. The launch is aimed at ensuring an institutional solution for P2P users in India.
While no specific timelines were mentioned regarding the addition of fiat on-ramps and off-ramps for the USDC-INR pair, the phased rollout hints at handling compliance and considering user experience. In India, crypto transaction earnings attract a tax rate of 30% with an additional TDS of 1%.
As soon as Coinbase announced this service launch on X, formerly Twitter, users reacted to the development, with many appreciating the move by comments and shares. Below, you can check the screenshot showing the news and reactions so far.

The launch has come at a crucial time for crypto investors in India, as the exchange announced in December 2025 about the Indian users being able to register and trade cryptocurrencies and digital assets on its platform. Moreover, Coinbase announced its plan to launch a fiat on-ramp in 2026, enabling users to deposit rupees and purchase digital assets straight from the platform. The return marks a resurgence of interest in India, where the exchange was forced to stop operating on the back of regulatory and operational concerns.
India has bagged the top position in Chainanalysis‘s Global Crypto Adoption Index for the third straight year, highlighting the country’s dominant state in crypto usage despite the regulatory uncertainty and taxation challenges faced by the traders here. This report reflects Indias huge untapped potential across crypto and blockchains.
According to Statista, a renowned market research company, India is projected to have its cryptocurrency users expand to 127.28 million users in 2026, with a penetration rate of 8.62% during the year. The Indian crypto market is likely to witness a revenue size of US$10.4 billion in 2026.
The launch of USDC-INR trading services is likely to play a key role in helping India achieve these growth estimates.
