Coinbase возобновляет работу в Индии, Robinhood выходит на индонезийский рынок Translation: Coinbase Resumes Operations in India, Robinhood Expands into the Indonesian Market

American trading platforms Coinbase and Robinhood have ramped up their activities in the Asian markets. Coinbase has reopened user registrations in India, while Robinhood has reached an agreement to acquire two companies in Indonesia.

After a two-year hiatus, the exchange has reopened its application for Indian users. The program was in a testing phase since October, but registration is now open to all interested parties.

John O’Loghlen, Coinbase’s Director for the Asia-Pacific region, clarified that users can currently only engage in cryptocurrency transactions. Full fiat currency deposits and withdrawals are expected to be implemented in 2026.

Previously, the company had halted its operations in India due to regulatory challenges. In April 2022, the exchange had to disable support for the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), and by September 2023, it had completely ceased servicing Indian clients.

The relaunch became possible after Coinbase received registration with the local Financial Intelligence Unit in order to comply with anti-money laundering regulations.

Robinhood has announced the acquisition of Indonesian broker PT Buana Capital Sekuritas and crypto trader PT Pedagang Aset Kripto. This purchase will enable the company to enter the largest economy in Southeast Asia.

Robinhood aims to finalize the transactions in the first half of 2026, pending approval from Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority. The company’s plans include offering local users the ability to trade US stocks and digital assets through its proprietary services.

Peter Tanuri, the current owner of the companies being acquired, will remain involved in the project as a strategic advisor.

To recall, in June, Robinhood completed a deal to purchase the Bitcoin exchange Bitstamp for $200 million.
