Indian cryptocurrency exchanges got the edge after the cryptocurrency ban was lifted up by the Supreme Court of India. After this, digital currency exchanges in the country were able to garner more support from venture firms. Apart from the Unocoin exchange, the top cryptocurrency exchange in India CoinDCX completed two funding rounds in which it was able to raise an amount of $5.5 million. Polychain Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and some other venture firms backed these funding rounds.
Apart from this, the exchanges have also witnessed a significant surge in their trading volumes after the uplifting of the ban. For instance, Unocoin saw its trading volume reaching $400,000 to $545,000 per day.
