Bengaluru, 19 August, 2025: Security has emerged as the #1 priority for crypto investors, according to a new pan-India survey by CoinSwitch, India’s largest crypto platform with over 2 crore users. Nearly one-third of respondents believe that enhanced security measures would significantly boost their confidence and sense of safety in the market. The findings point to a growing demand for stronger safety nets, greater transparency, and user-first protection mechanisms within the Indian crypto ecosystem.
The survey, titled Crypto Safety Pulse: 2025, captured insights from nearly 3000 active crypto investors across the country. Regardless of their sentiment—positive, neutral, and negative, the common thread was clear: security matters as much as returns, and investor expectations are evolving beyond just low fees and feature sets.
“India’s crypto adoption story will be driven as much by trust as by innovation,” said Ashish Singhal, Co-founder of CoinSwitch. “This survey confirms what we’ve long believed: users expect platforms to deliver not just profits, but also security, accountability, and clear redressal. That’s the foundation for the next phase of growth. At CoinSwitch, we are committed to meeting these expectations and building a safer, more resilient crypto ecosystem for every investor,” he added.
These findings reflect a significant shift in user expectations, where crypto isn’t just about opportunity, but about platform reliability and protection.
This sentiment comes amid a troubling backdrop: within a year, two major cyberattacks on leading crypto exchanges in India have compromised millions of dollars in assets and shaken user confidence. For Indian investors, these incidents have made security not just a feature, but a necessity.
Safety and security have always been at the core of CoinSwitch’s mission and the past year underscored why. We have doubled down on our commitment to protecting our users, by ensuring:
