A new survey shows that the Indian cryptocurrency market is moving beyond a “Bitcoin-only” mindset, with significantly increased diversification and investor participation. Total spot trading volume reached 51,333 crore rupees, averaging 140.64 crore per day, reflecting growing confidence from both retail and institutional investors. Institutional client onboarding increased by 35.5%, while the number of SIP accounts surged 623% to 572,000, indicating strong appeal for recurring investment and yield-generating products.

The report notes that while Bitcoin remains the most held asset, Ethereum is the most traded asset. The average investor is 32 years old and holds around 5 tokens, demonstrating greater maturity and a deeper multi-asset appetite. The market is also bolstered by 5,210 crore rupees in Proof-of-Reserves and improved regulatory compliance. Adoption is spreading from major cities to non-urban areas, with Delhi and Lucknow leading in trading activity.
