CD CoinDCX VS WX WazirX
Both exchanges offer Spot, Margin. The differences below come from our individual reviews of CoinDCX and WazirX.
| CoinDCX | WazirX | |
|---|---|---|
| Founded | 2018 | 2018 |
| 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. | Built for Indian retail users with direct INR deposit and withdrawal rails; not available to US persons. Full operations, including INR trading, resumed in October 2025 after the hack-related restructuring, though a share of user claims remain settled only in non-tradable Recovery Tokens as of 2026. |
| Products | Spot, Margin, Futures, Lending | Spot, Margin, INR-settled perpetual futures, P2P |
| 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: WazirX's standard schedule runs 0.2% maker and 0.2% taker on spot, moving with WRX holdings and 30-day volume, or a flat monthly WazirX ZERO subscription for unlimited trades; its INR futures product runs a separate schedule around 0.02% maker |
| 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: same pattern as the maker fee; WazirX futures taker fees run around 0.04%, and both the spot schedule and subscription pricing have changed more than once recently |
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
WazirX pros
- India's largest exchange by registered users, with by far the deepest INR order-book liquidity and direct rupee on and off-ramps
- Resumed full service, including INR deposits and withdrawals, after a Singapore court approved its restructuring plan with over 95% creditor support
- Wide asset selection, close to 300 tokens, plus a zero-commission P2P market
- A flat-fee subscription option, WazirX ZERO, that removes per-trade costs entirely for active traders
