- India’s richest are moving millions into Bitcoin and Ethereum quietly.
- Top crypto exchanges see record trades from wealthy Indian investors.
- Retail interest surges alongside institutional crypto inflows across India.
India’s wealthiest investors are making notable moves in the cryptocurrency space, with major exchanges reporting a sharp uptick in high-value trades. Platforms like CoinDCX, Mudrex, CoinSwitch, and ZebPay have all seen a steady rise in participation from high-net-worth individuals and family offices in recent weeks.
Mudrex announced that it had a 30 percent rise in volumes of trading among the HNI in a complete week, exceeding $10 million. CoinDCX also reported that the average trade size increased by 25 to 30 percent by July, compared to June, when they were averaging 5 lakhs per trade by wealthy clients.
CoinDCX said that its HNIs and institutional clients accounted for almost half of the platform’s total trading volumes in the first six months. All these clients traded in excess of 50 lakh a month through spot trade.

CoinSwitch has observed a change in investor trends, with its highest-ranking clients being preoccupied with fairly mature tokens. While Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most popular assets, more investors are interested in Solana and XRP as they account not only for liquidity but also for credibility.
Investor sentiment is evolving at a speedy rate, said Ashish Singhal, co-founder of CoinSwitch.
Retail Activity Remains Strong Amid Rising Institutional Inflows
Retail investors continue to dominate trading volumes despite the growing presence of big-money participants. CoinSwitch recorded a threefold increase in daily average volumes following the recent rise in Bitcoin prices.
CoinDCX reported that its daily trading volume doubled, averaging 40 percent, just in the early days of July, rising to $12.82 million compared to $9.17 million in June. On the other hand, Mudrex highlighted that due to the increased volume on its platform, the spot market increased by 2X, and the activity in the futures market rose by 200 percent in less than one week.
About 45 percent of these were trades made using Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. The others were followed by meme coins like Dogecoin, PEPE, and Shiba Inu, which are still receiving a rapid flow of retail capital.
ZebPay further added that recently, there has been a 60 percent weightage in favor of buying, which was a sign of investor optimism. This tendency correlates with other positive processes in the world during the current U.S. Crypto Week.
A number of crypto bills are advancing in the USA, which gives the market more assurance. President Donald Trump has already signed the Genius Act, which regulates stablecoins.
Two other bills—the Clarity Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act—are also moving through legislative channels.
Conclusion
The sharp rise in crypto exposure among India’s wealthiest investors suggests a shift toward long-term confidence in digital assets. As family offices and HNIs pour millions into top cryptocurrencies, the Indian market is experiencing stronger momentum, supported by rising retail participation and global regulatory clarity.
