Bitget Enters India Amidst Crypto Taxation Policies

Bangalore, India, 28th April, 2022, Chainwire

Bitget, the leading derivatives exchange, has announced its entry into India in order to provide a secure, and compliant platform for trading crypto futures, derivatives and one-click copy trading. This strategic decision comes right after the newly levied crypto taxation policies in India.

As per the current crypto regulations in the region, capital gains or profits on cryptocurrencies will be taxed at 30% with an additional TDS tax of 1% on all trading transactions.

“We’ve received an overwhelming demand for support from India. At Bitget we’re constantly looking to grow and expand by creating a safe and transparent environment to drive mass adoption”, said Sandra Lou, CEO and Co-founder of Bitget.

“Indian crypto traders exceed the population of several countries, with over 100 million users holding digital assets. Our mission is to provide a secure platform to interact with digital assets and provide support to nations fostering its growth”, she added.

To simplify crypto taxation, Bitget has partnered up with Koinly, a leading crypto taxation software that can be utilized to calculate taxes in regions like India, and 19 other countries.

Only second to the US, India has one of the largest blockchain developer bases and a flourishing crypto ecosystem with more than 300 WEB 3.0 startups.

Statistics in 2020 showed that Indian Bitcoin trades around $60 million every day. As one of the flourishing tech markets, India stands as the next emerging hub for blockchain and crypto.

Upon Bitget’s entry into the Indian market, it will move on to hire experts and develop a crypto community, in order to contribute to the growth of the crypto and blockchain industries.
