The company resumed operations in India in 2022 but suspended them due to RBI pressure.
Recently, the SEC dismissed its lawsuit against Coinbase, signaling a shift in crypto regulation.

Coinbase (COIN) has made progress in returning to India by
securing registration with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), the company
announced today (Tuesday). This registration enables Coinbase to offer its trading
services in the Indian market, Coindesk reported.
Additionally, the US Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) has dropped its lawsuit against Coinbase, signalling a shift in its
stance on cryptocurrency industry regulation.
Coinbase Faces Regulatory Challenges

Coinbase had been active in India several years ago but
faced regulatory challenges that led it to pull back from the country. In 2022,
the company resumed operations but later suspended them due to "informal
pressure" from the Reserve Bank of India. The following year, it stopped
accepting new user registrations while still providing wallet services to
Indian citizens.
Launching Retail Services in India
"India represents one of the most exciting market
opportunities in the world today, and we’re proud to deepen our investment here
in full compliance with local regulations," said John O'Loghlen, Regional Managing
Director for APAC at Coinbase.
This recent FIU registration marks a new phase in Coinbase's
plans for India. Earlier in 2025, Finance Magnates reported that Coinbase had
been in talks with regulators, including the FIU, about a possible re-entry
into the market. The company now intends to launch retail services in India
later this year and explore other products while increasing its investments in
the region.
SEC Ends Coinbase Lawsuit
The SEC's
decision to drop its lawsuit against Coinbase follows years of regulatory
uncertainty in the crypto sector. Filed in 2023, the lawsuit accused Coinbase
of facilitating the trade of unregistered securities and failing to comply with
regulations. However, Coinbase argued that crypto-assets do not meet the legal
definition of securities.
Acting Chairman Mark T. Uyeda noted that the SEC's past
approach focused on enforcement actions rather than public engagement,
emphasizing the need for clearer and more transparent crypto policy. The
dismissal aligns with broader shifts in SEC strategy, especially under the
potential leadership of Paul Atkins, a crypto-friendly figure.
