Mumbai based payment gateway Billdesk has launched ‘Coinome’, India’s first crypto-currency exchange. Coinome operates a crypto-currency exchange and is the 1st crypto platform in India to allow users to be on-boarded simply and quickly via instant e-KYC. Headquartered in Mumbai, Coinome is incorporated under Hatio Innovations Pvt. Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of BillDesk.
How does Coinome Work ?
Users can start transacting in crypto-currencies almost immediately upon registering. The exchange supports instant deposits using payment gateway and instant withdrawals, thereby allowing transactions even on weekends or business holidays. The exchange plans to support 20 mainstream crypto-currencies by 2018.

“At Coinome, we are excited to bring crypto-currencies to the masses. India, with a limited number of exchanges supporting multiple crypto-currencies, offers immense opportunities. We would fundamentally like to provide Indian users with a secure and convenient means for buying or selling Bitcoins, and other crypto-currencies. In the next one year, our target is to support up to 20 popular crypto-currencies and promoting the same within Indian masses as commercially viable alternatives for building their digital assets.” Vivek Steve Francis, the CEO of Coinome has said.
