According to the source, Coinbase plans to invest in India’s CoinDCX and expand across South Asia and the Middle East, indicating a renewed push to grow non-U.S. market share (source: social media post dated Oct 15, 2025). Coinbase Ventures previously participated in CoinDCX’s $135 million Series D funding, establishing a strategic relationship with the exchange that could ease execution of new initiatives (source: CoinDCX press release dated Apr 19, 2022). Coinbase has emphasized international expansion via initiatives such as launching services for non-U.S. customers and engaging UAE authorities to build a regional hub, underscoring a long-term strategy to diversify liquidity and revenue beyond the U.S. (source: Coinbase corporate blog post dated May 8, 2023). Central and Southern Asia as well as the Middle East rank among the highest in crypto adoption, suggesting that added fiat on-ramps and listings could lift spot and derivatives volumes in BTC and ETH once official programs go live (source: Chainalysis 2023 Geography of Cryptocurrency Report). Traders should monitor COIN equity for confirmation-driven catalysts, plus liquidity shifts in INR- and AED-quoted BTC and ETH pairs on regional venues after formal announcements (source: Coinbase Newsroom and CoinDCX Blog as the primary disclosure channels, and Chainalysis 2023 for regional adoption context).
