    One of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, Bithumb, announced that it’s going to bring its new blockchain platform to India. The Bithumb Chain, as it is called, will be available to Indian companies, startups and even the government for building services and products based on blockchain technology.

    The company announced the Bithumb Chain at the Bithumb Family Conference in Seoul, South Korea yesterday. Bithumb is amongst the five largest crypto exchanges in the world.

    According to Vincent Poon, Vice President, Bithumb Global, the company is open to partnering with anyone in India. Poon told Mint that he sees many possibilities for blockchain and cryptocurrency in India, despite the ongoing debate about the legality of cryptocurrencies in India.

    He added that the country’s developer talent is impressive when it comes to blockchain-based applications.

    While Poon didn’t disclose technical aspects of the Bithumb Chain, he said it allows developers to integrate their projects with it, without requiring them to “reinvent the wheel".

    He also said that while the government hasn’t yet passed a bill on how cryptocurrency will be dealt with in the country, India has a lot of developer talent when it comes to blockchain.
