[Coinbase Resumes User Registration in India and Plans to Launch Fiat Access Channels by 2026] Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has reopened app registration in India after suspending operations in the country for over two years. Users can now conduct cryptocurrency-to-cryptocurrency transactions. Coinbase's Asia-Pacific Director, John O’Loghlen, stated at India Blockchain Week (IBW) that the company plans to enable fiat deposit channels by 2026. Coinbase initially launched services in India in 2022 but ceased support for the UPI payment network after the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) operator, the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), refused to acknowledge its operations. Later in 2023, Coinbase halted all services for Indian users.
