Coinbase to Increase Investment in Crypto Exchange CoinDCX
Coinbase’s expanded stake in CoinDCX awaits regulatory approval and closing conditions, with the exchange showing strong financial and user growth.
Fact Check
The statement is confirmed by a primary source. An April 19, 2022 announcement on CoinDCX's official blog explicitly states that existing investor Coinbase increased its investment in that funding round. While other evidence discusses speculative future acquisition talks, the fact that Coinbase did increase its investment in the past makes the statement true.
Summary
Coinbase plans to increase its investment in CoinDCX, an exchange serving India and the Middle East, following a previous investment through Coinbase Ventures. The transaction, pending regulatory approval and closing conditions, comes as CoinDCX reports $141 million in annual revenue, $165 billion in trading volume, and more than 20.4 million users as of July 2025.
