A number of India’s most prominent crypto firms are set to meet with government officials next week to provide their views on the industry.
- India’s Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance has arranged for a meeting on Monday to “hear the views of associations/industry experts on the subject ‘CryptoFinance: Opportunities and Challenges.’ ”
- It will be the first official meeting between the government and stakeholders in the crypto industry, Business Insider reported on Thursday.
- Crypto exchanges WazirX, CoinSwitch Kuber and CoinDCX, are reported to be among the invitees. WazirX, which is owned by Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, confirmed the meeting, while CoinSwitch Kuber and CoinDCX declined to comment.
- At the start of this year, the Indian government looked set to introduce legislation to outright ban crypto, plans that have since appeared to soften.
- CoinSwitch Kuber was reportedly in talks with the government over regulation of the industry.

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.
What to know:
- 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.
