What happened last month

[Done] We turned 1-year old 🥳: We completed one year of going live with WazirX on 8th March 2019! What a wonderful journey it has been, and it would have been impossible without your support. I’ve also written a blog post about our 1-year journey with some mind-blowing facts, and our plans for Year-2! Read it here.

[Done] WazirX goes international: You’ve helped us go from India’s youngest to India’s fastest growing exchange, and now, it’s time to level up! Now, anyone from around the world can sign up, and trade on WazirX. Also, you don’t need to complete KYC process to be able to trade on WazirX, you get started immediately by verifying your email and number. But what’s going to be different about WazirX? 🤔 Click here to find out.

[Done] WazirX on YouTube: Yes, we joined YouTube to keep in touch with you, and with our 1-year anniversary, it called for a live Question-and-Answer session with all of you. It was great seeing so many of you participate, and answering your questions about WRX, WazirX’s global plans, the crypto revolution, and why #IndiaWantsCrypto. Watch my video here.

[Done] TFuel on WazirX: WazirX is the first and only Indian crypto exchange to start Theta Fuel (TFUEL) trading on its platform. Last month, Theta launched its mainnet, and distributed TFUEL to all the Theta holders. You can buy/sell TFUEL on WazirX in our USDT market.

[Done] New YouTube series in Hindi: We have also started a brand new Hindi YouTube series called Crypto Pe Charcha where we invite popular crypto and blockchain youtubers, bloggers, and influencers on our YouTube channel. We have already had Money Guru, and Blockchain Lawyer live on our channel. If you missed it, watch them here. Nominate your favourite blockchain influencers for Crypto Pe Charcha by clicking here.

[Done] BTT airdrop distribution with a twist: We have successfully distributed the monthly BTT airdrop to all the eligible TRX holders… but with a twist! Last month, we distributed 2X, i.e., twice of the BTT airdrop amount as our anniversary-special surprise to you!

[Done] NPXS Airdrop credit: We successfully credited the NPXS tokens unlocked in February to all the eligible holders. WazirX is an official Pundi X exchange partner, and has the highest liquidity of NPXS in India! Read about the the new airdrop method here.

What we’re building

[Ongoing] Stop limit: Many of you have been asking us about when we’ll get “Stop Limit” feature, and now we have an answer — this month! Stay tuned for more info.

[Ongoing] More blockchain integrations: We’re working hard to integrate new coins, and projects every month; expect the same for April as well. Tweet your suggestions to us @WazirXIndia or let us know in the comments below.

[Ongoing] P2P in new countries: We’ve already started crypto-to-crypto trading internationally, and P2P is a work-in-progress. We’re talking to our international users, and understanding the fiat <> crypto problem in their countries. Based on the demand, we’ll launch P2P in the top 3 countries in a couple of weeks.

[Ongoing] Under the hood improvements: We’re adding small changes to WazirX P2P to make it faster for you. You may not be able to notice the changes, but you’ll see the difference.

Something to add

The Crypto vs. RBI case was listed to be heard on 29th March, and it’s now been adjourned to the second week of July. While we wait for the court to decide the fate of crypto in India, you have WazirX P2P to help you with fiat <> crypto conversion and vice versa. As a result of the hearing delay, we also saw our competitor, Coindelta, shut down their exchange. If you or your friends are holding crypto on Coindelta, don’t panic, WazirX has you covered.

Deposit your crypto on WazirX & we’ll refund 100% of your Coindelta withdrawal fee

Click here to check how to claim your withdrawal fee refund.

In the meantime, I need your help in keeping the crypto fire burning in India. Be a part of the #IndiaWantsCrypto campaign, and tweet to our government and decision-makers to help them understand crypto. Let’s make our voices heard!

Jai Hind 🇮🇳
