Coinbase's Return to India and Innovations in Crypto
Coinbase is making a comeback in India after a two-year hiatus, having reopened app registrations and planning local fiat on-ramps for 2026. This announcement was made by Coinbase APAC director John O’Loghlen during India Blockchain Week. The exchange had previously exited the market in September 2023 due to challenges faced during its 2022 launch. O’Loghlen emphasized the importance of starting fresh by off-boarding existing customers. Users can now engage in crypto-to-crypto trades as part of the onboarding process initiated in October. Meanwhile, ZKsync Lite, the first zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum, will sunset in 2026, having fulfilled its role in validating ZK systems. Its development ceased earlier this year with the introduction of zkEVM, which supports smart contracts.

This new fund adds to WisdomTree's portfolio of 15 tokenized funds. Read more AI-generated news on: undefined/news
