CoinDCX’s H1 2025 Report: Volume Growth, Product Wins & Long-Term Investor Conviction
Last Updated:
In India, this global momentum is mirrored by a surge in CoinDCX’s trading volumes and deeper investor conviction
CoinDCX recorded ₹23,497.35 crore in spot trading volume in H1 2025, up 37% compared to H1 2024.
CoinDCX, India’s largest crypto exchange, today unveiled the Half-Year Report at a pivotal moment for the global digital asset ecosystem. The re-election of U.S. President Donald Trump has triggered a wave of pro-crypto policy momentum, including proposals for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the GENIUS Act, a comprehensive stablecoin regulation bill. At the same time, institutional confidence is rising globally, with the European Union beginning implementation of its MiCA framework and Hong Kong introducing Asia’s most advanced stablecoin licensing regime. These shifts are fueling a renewed sense of legitimacy and long-term potential in crypto markets.
In India, this global momentum is mirrored by a surge in CoinDCX’s trading volumes and deeper investor conviction.
CoinDCX recorded ₹23,497.35 crore in spot trading volume in H1 2025, up 37% compared to H1 2024. Over 70% of these volumes were concentrated in Bitcoin and foundational Layer 1 blockchains, demonstrating a decisive shift from speculative trading to infrastructure-focused conviction. The average number of tokens held per investor is four, reflecting growing portfolio diversification.
In a significant sign of long-term investor intent, CoinDCX saw over 2.08 lakh systematic investment plans (SIPs) created in H1 2025—a staggering 1071% year-on-year increase. This behavior shift indicates a maturing investor mindset, driven by awareness, patience, and a belief in long-term value creation.
India’s investor base also evolved demographically. The average age is 31, women now comprise 15% of CoinDCX’s user base, and smaller cities like Faridabad and Nashik have emerged as fast-growing crypto adoption hubs. CoinDCX’s registered user base grew by 18.75% in H1 2025 compared to H1 2024, driven by robust education efforts and sustained trust-building initiatives.
Sumit Gupta, Co-founder, CoinDCX, said, “Crypto remains one of the most dynamic asset classes today. H1 2025 saw strong trading activity on CoinDCX, and the momentum has only accelerated as we entered H2. In the first two weeks of July alone, our platform recorded over $192 million in trading volumes, a 40% jump from June. Bitcoin volumes grew even faster, up 80%, driven by renewed investor interest as BTC crossed $116,000.”
“What’s even more promising is the evolution of our investor base. The average age of our users has now risen to 30, with growing participation from the 25–35 age group, reflecting deeper conviction and maturity. We’re also seeing a healthy uptick in adoption from tier-2 and tier-3 cities, and female participation now stands at 13–14%, steadily rising year on year. These shifts reinforce our belief that crypto is becoming more inclusive, mainstream, and long-term focused,” Sumit added,
CoinDCX accelerated its India-first roadmap. In H1 2025, the company:
- Launched India’s largest crypto education initiative with Upsurge, empowering over 2.7 lakh users
- Upgraded its Pro-trader stack, integrating Tradetron-powered algo trading and MarketWind strategy signals
- Published monthly Transparency Reports, disclosing platform health, user protections, and TDS compliance.

Deliveroo is set to significantly broaden its offerings beyond its core takeaway service, introducing a new feature that will allow customers to book restaurant reservations directly through its platform.
The initiative, named Deliveroo Reservations, is scheduled to launch initially in London this Thursday.
Customers will gain the ability to secure tables at a range of prominent London eateries, including Dishoom, Dove, Hide, Kricket, Barrafina, and Kolae. This expansion marks a strategic move for the company, which was acquired by US-based DoorDash for £2.9 billion last year.
The new reservation system integrates technology from SevenRooms, a restaurant booking platform business that DoorDash also purchased for approximately £900 million.
This integration follows DoorDash’s own expansion into restaurant bookings on its platform in the United States late last year, setting a precedent for Deliveroo’s latest venture.
This move is central to Deliveroo’s ambitions to grow beyond its established takeaway delivery model in the UK. While the feature will first be rolled out to restaurants in London, Deliveroo has indicated plans to extend the service across the wider UK later in the year.
Suzy McClintock, vice president for consumer and new verticals at Deliveroo, commented on the development: “This launch is about supporting restaurants to grow in new ways. Whether it’s a Deliveroo order or a reservation in store, we want to drive discovery, demand and revenue across every channel.”
She added: “By fully integrating SevenRooms into the Deliveroo app, we’re giving restaurants access to new customers and giving diners an easier way to discover and book some of London’s best tables – all in one place.”
Joel Montaniel, vice president and co-founder of SevenRooms, echoed this sentiment, stating: “Bringing reservations into the Deliveroo app gives London restaurants a new way to connect with diners and grow, while making it easy for consumers to discover and book great restaurants.”

Warner Bros. Discovery books $2.9 billion net loss tied to Paramount deal, restructuring costs

Warner Bros. Discovery on Wednesday reported a staggering net loss for the first quarter, but it has an explanation.
The company booked a net loss of $2.9 billion, far larger than the net loss of $453 million it reported in the year-earlier quarter.
The figure included $1.3 billion of “pre-tax acquisition-related amortization of intangibles, content fair value step-up and restructuring expenses” as well as the $2.8 billion termination fee that Warner Bros. Discovery owed Netflix after their pending transaction fell through in February.
Netflix walked away from its proposed deal to buy WBD’s assets after Paramount Skydance came in with a higher offer. Paramount agreed to pay the termination fee as part of its agreement to buy the entirety of WBD, but the cost lives on WBD’s books until the close of that deal.
Since the amount is refundable to Paramount under certain circumstances, such as if it were to terminate the deal with Paramount for a higher offer, the obligation would be shifted to WBD.
Paramount’s proposed acquisition received approval from WBD shareholders in April and is currently in the midst of a regulatory review process. On Monday, Paramount said in its earnings release that it has “made significant progress” toward closing the deal, which it expects to be completed in the third quarter.
WBD on Wednesday also reported first-quarter revenue that was down 1% year over year to $8.89 billion. The company’s adjusted earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortization was up 5% to $2.2 billion. WBD had $33.4 billion in gross debt at the end of the quarter.
Streaming continued to be a highlight for the company.
Total streaming revenue was up 9% to about $2.89 billion as subscriber revenue increased due to the expansion of HBO Max — WBD’s flagship streaming platform — in international markets. Advertising revenue for the unit was up 20% due to an increase in customers subscribing to the ad-supported tier.
The company said in a shareholder letter it exceeded its guidance of more than 140 million global streaming customers at the end of the first quarter, and it remains on track to surpass 150 million global subscribers by the end of the year.
WBD’s portfolio of pay TV networks, which includes CNN, TBS and the Discovery Channel, continued to weigh on the company. The linear TV networks reported $4.38 billion in revenue, down 8% from the prior year. The company said linear advertising revenue was down 11%, which was primarily driven by the absence of NBA media rights from its portfolio.
Revenue for the film studio division, meanwhile, increased 35% to $3.13 billion year over year.
