Coinswitch Kuber, India’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, plans to launch a stock trading platform in the next six months. The company has already received in-principle approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to operate as a stockbroker.
Coinswitch Kuber is backed by Tiger Global Management, Sequoia Capital India, and Andreessen Horowitz. The company has raised over $260 million in funding so far.
The launch of a stock trading platform will be a major diversification move for Coinswitch Kuber. The company is currently focused on the cryptocurrency market, but it sees the stock market as a huge opportunity.
The Indian stock market is the 11th largest in the world by market capitalization. It is also one of the fastest growing stock markets in the world. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15% in the next five years.
Coinswitch Kuber is hoping to tap into this growth by offering a user-friendly and affordable stock trading platform to Indian investors. The company is also planning to offer a variety of features that are not currently available on other stock trading platforms in India.
These features include fractional trading, which allows investors to buy and sell shares of stocks in small denominations, and margin trading, which allows investors to borrow money from the broker to buy more shares.

Coinswitch Kuber is also planning to offer a variety of educational resources to help investors learn about the stock market. These resources will include articles, videos, and webinars.
The launch of a stock trading platform will be a major challenge for Coinswitch Kuber. The company will need to compete with established stock trading platforms like Zerodha and Upstox.
However, Coinswitch Kuber has a number of advantages that could help it succeed in the stock market. The company has a strong brand name, a large user base, and a deep understanding of the cryptocurrency market.
Coinswitch Kuber is also backed by some of the most respected venture capital firms in the world. This gives the company the resources and expertise it needs to succeed in the stock market.
