Indian Crypto Exchange CoinSwitch Launches New Investment Service for High Net Worth Individuals

CoinSwitch, an Indian crypto trading platform, announced Thursday that it has launched a specialized crypto investment service, targeting high net-worth individuals (HNI).

CoinSwitch, which recently sued the beleaguered WazirX exchange in a lawsuit, aims to offer HNIs with personalized investment advisory. Per local reports, the service designed for HNIs and institutional investors, will also provide access to robust risk management solutions.

Additionally, the service which is already available on its website, includes dedicated account managers, professional tax filing assistance, among others. Besides, users can avail institutional-grade security for custody solutions with “state of the art” encryption.

This feature is open to anyone with over ₹10 lakhs ($11,907) investment, the Hindu Businessline reported. Further, the services can be extended to family offices as well.

Balaji Srihari, Business Head of CoinSwitch, said that the launch comes as a result of surge in institutional interest in the global crypto space, particularly after the US SEC’s recent Bitcoin and Ether spot ETF approvals.

“With the new offering, we aim to provide a secure, customised, and professional approach to crypto investing, equipping our users with the tools and insights they need to navigate this dynamic market confidently.”

Srihari also noted that there has been an initial interest from institutional investors in the platform already.

“Once the user submits their query on the platform, our team will connect with them to assess their financial goals, risk tolerance, and market outlook,” he added.

Finally, CoinSwitch will create a customized plan based on the assessment and will charge accordingly. Besides, the company is also increasing its assets under management (AUM).
