SPOT TRADING LAUNCHED ON DELTA EXCHANGE
We have launched Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL) and Ripple (XRP), letting you buy and sell crypto directly using INR, without needing to first convert INR to USD/USDT or manage on-chain transfers. This launch is designed for simple “buy, hold, sell” investing with INR-only deposits/withdrawals and an in-app Spot wallet flow.
What’s new in this launch:
- Crypto Spot markets on Delta Exchange so you can take spot positions (not futures/options) and hold them as long as you want.
- INR-first experience: Delta Exchange India supports INR deposits/withdrawals and does not accept crypto deposits like USDT/coins on the India platform.
- Lowest fees: There’s no fees on buying spot crypto. There’s a 0.1% fees on selling, so you pay the fees for only one leg.
How to trade Crypto spot:
- Log in to your Delta Exchange account and open the Spot section
- Transfer funds from your F&O wallet to your Spot wallet
- Place a spot buy order for BTC/ETH/SOL/XRP and hold it.
- When you want to encash, sell your spot position, transfer funds from Spot wallet back to the F&O wallet and withdraw INR to your bank account.
Watch this short video for more details on the launch.
GOLD TOKEN, SILVER TOKEN & US xSTOCK TOKENS LAUNCHED ON DELTA EXCHANGE
We have also launched new perpetual futures - PAXG gold token contract and US stock tokens (like Tesla xStock, Nvidia xStock, etc), so you can take INR-settled directional exposure (long/short) without buying physical gold or the underlying US shares. These products are derivatives whose prices broadly move in line with their underlying reference assets.
How to trade Gold token & US xStock tokens on Delta Exchange:
- Log in to your Delta Exchange account and open Marketplace to find the new tokens
- Go to Futures and use the left-side instrument drop-down/search to select the contract you want (e.g., PAXGUSD for gold token perpetual or TSLAXUSD for Tesla xStock token perpetual).
- In the order panel, set your leverage (up to 50x for PAXGUSD, up to 25x for TSLAXUSD as per Delta’s contract guides).
- Choose Buy (to go long) or Sell (to go short), place a market/limit order, then manage risk with stop-loss/target as your script describes.
- To exit, close the position from the positions/actions area; P&L settles per the contract rules
