On the numbers both platforms publish, HTX takes this one for most India users: the platform has the longer track record (since 2013 vs 2021). That verdict is mechanical — lower published entry-tier cost and broader published coverage win rows, and ties stay ties. Every figure was re-checked against official pages on July 31, 2026, and the row-level sources are one click away below.

Open HTX

HTX and its counterpart are lined up on the same published rows below — entry-tier costs, verification, coverage, and local availability — with the winning cell decided by the published number alone, re-checked on July 31, 2026. Where a platform does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing, because an unpublished number is a real answer about transparency too. Use the availability row first if you are signing up from India: a cheaper venue that cannot legally take your registration is not cheaper.

Each check below names the platform whose published number wins that row outright, using the values re-verified on July 31, 2026. HTX and its rival keep their source links in the last row, so any cell can be audited in one click before you commit funds — and if a provider stops publishing a value, the row flips to "not published" on the next re-check rather than staying frozen.

Using HTX or Bitunix from India

Signing up from India puts HTX and Bitunix under a local rulebook, and it is not what the fee table alone tells you. Financial Intelligence Unit - India (FIU-IND), Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, oversees crypto (virtual digital asset) service providers under the anti-money-laundering framework. Crypto exchanges must register with FIU-IND as Virtual Digital Asset Service Providers (VDA SPs) in the Reporting Entity regime under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act; registration is a pre-requisite to operate. How money actually reaches the order book here: Unified Payments Interface (UPI), the instant payment system operated by the National Payments Corporation of India, is the dominant local deposit rail for retail payments. UPI accounts for the overwhelming majority of digital payments in India and is the largest real-time payment system in the world. On tax treatment in this market: Income from transfer of virtual digital assets is taxed at a flat rate of thirty per cent under Section 115BBH of the Income-tax Act, with no set-off or carry-forward of losses. None of this market context changes the HTX figures in the table above — it decides how you act on them.

Which is better: HTX or Bitunix?
