Binance Sees Record Increase in Indian Users After Government Starts Imposing New Crypto Tax
The number of Indian users on cryptocurrency exchange Binance has soared after the Indian government began levying taxes on crypto transactions. Meanwhile, daily trading volumes at some major India-based cryptocurrency exchanges are down over 90% since the new tax rules took effect.
The number of Indian user sign-ups soared on global crypto exchange Binance after a 1% tax deducted at source (TDS) went into effect in July, Bloomberg reported Tuesday. The number of Binance app downloads in India jumped to 429,000 in August, the publication added, noting that this number is the highest this year. In contrast, daily trading volumes at several major India-based cryptocurrency exchanges are reportedly down over 90% since the 1% TDS took effect.
