In a major step forward for India’s evolving digital asset ecosystem, eXchange1—a fully regulated European crypto exchange—has officially launched operations in India. With its global vision of “1 World · 1 Exchange”, eXchange1 promises a secure, transparent, and compliant platform designed to meet the needs of modern traders and institutions alike.
The launch marks a key milestone in the platform’s ongoing global rollout, following successful operations across Europe and the United Arab Emirates. With India emerging as one of the most active and promising crypto markets globally, eXchange1 aims to set a new standard in how digital assets are accessed, managed, and protected.
A Vision Grounded in Regulation and Innovation
What sets eXchange1 apart is its unwavering focus on regulatory integrity and long-term ecosystem building. The platform is licensed under the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) framework by the Financial Crime Investigation Service (FCIS) of Lithuania and is also registered with India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).
MiCA, overseen by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), ensures that crypto platforms operate under a clear, uniform regulatory environment that prioritizes investor protection, financial stability, and market transparency. By aligning itself with such standards, eXchange1 enters the Indian market with a strong foundation of trust and credibility.
“India is not just a market—it’s a movement,” said Ms. Sandoval Mera, CEO of eXchange1. “With over 100 million crypto users and a global reputation as an IT powerhouse, India offers unmatched potential. We’re excited to support this momentum with a secure, compliant, and future-ready platform tailored to the evolving needs of India’s digital economy.”
Why India? Why Now?
India currently ranks #1 globally in crypto adoption, according to the Chainalysis Index, with over 119 million users in 2024 alone. The country’s digital infrastructure, combined with its youth-driven, tech-savvy population, makes it an ideal environment for responsible innovation.
The Indian government’s increasingly open stance toward digital assets; focusing on regulation rather than restriction, has further enhanced its attractiveness for global players. eXchange1 believes that by working with regulators and local partners, it can contribute meaningfully to India’s digital finance journey.
Platform Capabilities Designed for the Next Decade
eXchange1 is more than a trading venue; it’s a full-spectrum crypto ecosystem. Its offerings include:
- Spot, Margin, and Futures Trading
- Copy Trading (for both Spot and Futures)
- Automated Strategy Tools
- Tokenized Investment Products
These services are designed for both retail and institutional users, and are available across web, mobile, and API interfaces, ensuring that traders can access markets seamlessly and securely, no matter where they are or what device they use.
What truly elevates the platform is its infrastructure: built for high-liquidity trading, rapid execution, and real-time risk management, it allows users to trade confidently even during periods of peak market volatility.
Local Partnerships and Onboarding Support
To enhance its presence and reliability in India, eXchange1 has established a strategic technology partnership with a leading global fintech firm, aimed at ensuring localized performance, uptime, and user experience. The company also offers dedicated onboarding support and 24/7 multilingual assistance, catering to the diverse linguistic and technical needs of India’s vast crypto user base.
Security at the Core
Security and operational transparency are central to eXchange1’s identity. In an industry often plagued by concerns around custodial safety and opaque management, the platform provides:
- Enterprise-grade security protocols
- Multi-jurisdiction compliance
- Real-time risk monitoring systems
- Institutional custody solutions
These features reflect eXchange1’s commitment to creating a safe and compliant environment — without compromising on performance or user experience.
Bridging the Industry Gap: Regulation with Responsibility
Historically, the crypto industry has struggled with fragmented regulations, weak enforcement, and lack of trust. This has slowed adoption and left users vulnerable. eXchange1 seeks to change that narrative by offering a regulated, transparent, and well-governed platform.
“The global crypto narrative has often been held back by the absence of clear regulation,” said Ms. Mera. “At eXchange1, we’re not just expanding; we’re building a platform that embodies trust, clarity, and credibility. We aim to work alongside regulators to shape a forward-looking, inclusive framework that supports long-term industry maturity.”
What’s Next?
With trading officially live from July 1, 2025, Indian users can now experience a crypto platform that matches international standards while being deeply localized. eXchange1 invites retail investors, institutions, developers, and ecosystem players to be part of a regulated, resilient, and scalable crypto future.
From Europe to India, the journey of eXchange1 reflects a larger shift: toward mature, responsible crypto adoption that serves users, markets, and regulators alike.
