Sumit Gupta, CEO, and Co-founder of CoinDCX said: “With the potential to accelerate financial inclusion in India, as well as opening gateways to new forms of investing, cryptocurrencies can benefit everyone. However, for Indians to take full advantage of crypto, we need to lay the groundwork through appropriate education. With DCX Learn, we want to arm users with the knowledge necessary to navigate crypto markets. As India’s largest exchange, we believe it is our duty to give people the tools needed to unlock the benefits of digital assets, and we are sure that DCX Learn will be vitally important in achieving our goal of onboarding 50 million Indian crypto users.”

The DCX Learn platform will provide learning material in the form of guides and articles, online courses, interactive lectures, and free quizzes, specifically tailored to all levels of crypto users, from novice to advanced market participants. Topics on the platform will include blockchain, cryptocurrency, trading, economics, and security. As India’s safest crypto exchange, CoinDCX has confirmed that crypto security will be a major focus on the platform providing information and knowledge for safe trading. The content available on DCX Learn will also be supported by collaborators from leading global industry thought leaders including CryptoKanoon, CoinCrunch, Inlox Network, Cashaa, and many more to be announced.

Shan Aggarwal, Head of Corporate Development at Coinbase said: “With most of the world currently in some form of lockdown due to the Covid-19 crisis, people are staying home and learning more about cryptocurrencies. This is a great time for an initiative and platform such as DCX Learn to provide valuable information on the benefits they can accrue with crypto, as well as how to engage in its use. We are looking forward to lending our support towards CoinDCX in providing crypto-related education.”
