Indian financial budget 2018 created some ripples among the bitcoin world. While a lot of the statements have been making waves, cryptocurrencies are still widely popular among the trading community. There are still exchange platforms that are being opened up to support cryptocurrency enthusiasts.
“Having the finance minister say in the Union Budget 2018 that, cryptocurrency isn’t legal tender is perfectly logical. It doesn’t mean crypto trading is illegal, but comes with its own risks like any other investment asset in the market. There are a lot of people in India who are intrigued by the technology but don’t understand it well enough” say the team behind newly launched exchange platform, KoinOK.
KoinOK is a cryptocurrency exchange platform which facilitates users to trade in Ether, Ripple and other popular cryptocurrencies by following an open order book system.
Due to the lack of legal framework around virtual currencies in India, cryptocurrency trading has not flourished in India but soon this might change as the government plans to lay down regulations around businesses based on the technology. Companies like KoinOK that follow the best industry practises for KYC verification and have accounts with popular banks in India helps users to have hassle free deposits/withdrawals.
The founding team has highly skilled and experienced entrepreneurs who have worked across a diverse set of industries with 15+ years of experience.

There are an estimated 40 tech startups operating in India that are using blockchain technology” adds the team.
Well there are some established players like Zebpay, Coinsecure and some recent startups like Koinex, Coindelta which have been able to grab a good share of traffic in last 2-3 months.
KoinOk has focused on providing the best user interface to their users and have got some great reviews regarding that. The KYC verification and deposit/withdrawal facilities are quite fast as compared to other exchanges.
For a product like cryptocurrency exchange platform, which involves a significant amount of money have to solve the most fundamental problem which is TRUST.
