The story

Founded in 2014 as one of India's earliest Bitcoin exchanges, ZebPay built a large retail customer base before being forced to suspend Indian operations in 2018 following an RBI banking ban on crypto. The company restructured internationally, establishing regulated entities in Singapore (MAS-licensed Digital Payment Token Service) and Australia (AUSTRAC-registered) and relaunched India operations after the Supreme Court overturned the RBI ban in 2020. Since relaunching, ZebPay has added crypto lending/earn products, a futures trading offering, OTC services, and crypto tax integrations — evolving from a simple spot exchange into a multi-product crypto financial platform across three jurisdictions.
