India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) has chosen CoinDCX to manage and store seized digital assets as part of a crackdown on cryptocurrency-related financial crimes.

The partnership follows high-profile fraud cases like GainBitcoin and BitConnect, which have raised concerns over investor protection. CoinDCX will offer secure custody services to safeguard these assets, implementing advanced security protocols to ensure their integrity.

In a recent case, the ED seized digital assets worth approximately$198 million linked to the BitConnect scam, which defrauded investors worldwide.

Earlier, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had seized$2.88 million in the GainBitcoin scam, uncovering evidence of financial misappropriation and cross-border transactions. These actions highlight the increasing efforts by authorities to tackle large-scale cryptocurrency fraud.

As cryptocurrency adoption rises in India, regulatory bodies are focusing on stronger enforcement to protect investors from fraudulent schemes.

The collaboration with CoinDCX is part of a broader strategy to ensure transparency in the handling of seized funds and to maintain the integrity of ongoing investigations.
