The India-based exchange, which featured a live trading platform and wallet service, said in a statement on its website and via email that it would close its doors on 20th May.
The exchange operator suggested that the closure was a result of a broader policy shift on the part of its Indian banking partner, explaining:
"We have been informed by our bank that they will no longer serve bitcoin businesses. We have investigated the possibility to operate through other banks, but it seems this is a general policy in India as of today."
BTCXIndia urged users to withdraw their funds before the cut off date and suggested that the exchange could reopen should a new banking partner be acquired in the future.
The exchange, launched in May of last year, had previously emphasized its commitment to regulatory compliance and cooperation with the Indian government. Its closure is notable given unconfirmed reports of regulatory issues facing other exchanges in India.
CoinDesk reached out to BTCXIndia, which declined further comment.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Lo que debes saber:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
