tl;dr Summary:<\/strong> Within days of announcing the launch of its cryptocurrency exchange in India, Coinbase removed the support of the popular Unified Payments Interface (UPI) from its platform, much to the dismay of its users.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n On Apr 7, 2022, Coinbase announced its entry into India<\/a>, which tops the list of the most crypto accounts<\/a> in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But users got a rude shock a few days later when they could not purchase tokens using the UPI interface, which got added to the platform after weeks of testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The app alerted users that they couldn’t use the UPI system currently, and didn’t present an alternative payment option. Thus, people in India, despite having access to the app, can’t actually use Coinbase until either this is resolved or they allow a different payment method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
