"Bitbns is one of the most resilient and the only exchange in India facilitating seamless deposits and withdrawals on the highest number of listed cryptocurrencies. The withdrawals are getting processed sequentially, as we are working to increase the clearing speed too," he added.

Over the last few months, top crypto exchanges in India have lost nearly 75 percent of their crypto trading volumes.

Trading exchanges like WazirX, CoinDCX, Bitbns and Zebpay, among others, lost more than 70-75 percent of their trading volumes on a monthly average basis in the first six months of 2022.

The situation has even worsen after the Union government imposed the 1 percent TDS (tax deducted at source) on virtual digital assets (VDAs) from 1 July. It was announced in the Budget 2022-22 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
