Users can only buy these two digital assets with India’s fiat currency INR at the moment. However, the crypto exchange aims to add support for more digital currencies on the trading platform in the future.
The trading platform has gone live today on August 5, 2020. It means users can commence trading crypto assets on this platform from today onward.
One-stop service for Indian users
Jay Hao, the CEO of the OKEx exchange, said in the announcement that the company aims at providing Indian users with one-stop service in order to connect them to the international marketplace.
Hao said:
“We believe that blockchain technology will eliminate barriers to transactions, and we’re committed to connecting Indian traders to the international crypto-trading marketplace by providing a one-stop service for Indian traders, including spot and many kinds of derivatives.”
After the cryptocurrency ban was lifted by the Reserve Bank of India in the month of March, India has seen dramatic growth in trading volume. After the ban, the trading volume of the BTC/INR pair surged high by over 1031.4%.
