Coinbase gets nod from Indian regulators to acquire CoinDCX stake
The Competition Commission of India has approved Coinbase's acquisition of a minority stake in cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX. The approval, confirmed by Coinbase's chief legal officer Paul Grewal, deepens the partnership between the two platforms. Neither the regulatory notice nor Grewal disclosed the exact stake percentage. Earlier reports indicated Coinbase planned to invest with a post-money valuation of about $2.4 billion, while denying rumors of a full $1 billion acquisition. Separately, Coinbase is reportedly planning to reintroduce fiat on-ramps for Indian users in 2026, marking its return to the Indian market after halting services in 2023. India, with over 1.4 billion people, is considered a major crypto market with an estimated 100 million users.
