Both exchanges offer Spot. The differences below come from our individual reviews of CoinDCX and Luno.
| CoinDCX | Luno | |
|---|---|---|
| Founded | 2018 | 2013 |
| Regions | Built primarily for Indian residents, with KYC via PAN and Aadhaar or passport, and INR on-ramps through partner banking rails. Also accepts international users with passport-based KYC, though INR deposit/withdrawal rails are India-specific. Not available in the United States. | Strong presence across South Africa, Nigeria, and other African markets, plus Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore in Southeast Asia; also serves UK and EU users, though some UK services have been curtailed to meet FCA requirements. Availability and local payment rails vary significantly by country. |
| Products | Spot, Margin, Futures, Lending | Spot |
| Maker fee | Verify current tier: CoinDCX runs separate volume-based maker/taker schedules for spot, margin, and futures (spot INR pairs have ranged roughly 0.03%-0.50%, INR-margined futures nearer 0.02%), so confirm the live rate for the specific product and market before trading | Verify current tier: Luno uses a volume-based maker/taker schedule, historically starting around 0.1% maker and 0.25% taker at the base tier |
| Taker fee | Same pattern applies: verify the current tier for your specific product, since CoinDCX's taker rates differ meaningfully across spot, margin, and futures rather than following one flat schedule | Verify current tier: Luno uses a volume-based maker/taker schedule, historically starting around 0.1% maker and 0.25% taker at the base tier |
CoinDCX pros
- India's largest crypto exchange by registered users, with FIU-IND registration under India's anti-money-laundering framework
- Broad product range under one account: spot, margin (up to several times leverage), futures, and a lending product, plus 500+ listed assets
- Coinbase holds a minority stake in CoinDCX's parent entity following a deal cleared by India's competition regulator in December 2025, a notable vote of confidence from a major international exchange
- Accepts international users via passport-based KYC, not strictly limited to Indian residents the way some domestic-only platforms are
Luno pros

- Local payment rail support and market knowledge built from operating in these regions for over a decade
- Monthly proof-of-reserves reporting with an independent accounting firm and over 98% of funds in offline, multi-signature cold storage
- No major hack or customer-fund loss on record since founding in 2013
