Loop is a trustful peer-to-peer token transaction network

National,July 19, 2018: Koinex, India’s first and largest digital assets exchange, has launched their peer-to-peer trading platform, Loop, for the Indian investors to transact in digital assets against INR fiat currency. The Loop network is fully integrated with Koinex to create their own ecosystem where one account can be used to access crypto/crypto corridors on Koinex and INR/crypto trades on Loop.

Loop is also the first P2P network in the country to introduce the concept of collateralized trading. Use of collaterals on digital assets trading ensures user authenticity and trustful order settlement with minimum disputes. It is form of guarantee to incentivise genuineness of the trading activity. Collateralization can set a new standard for trusted trading, which will be adopted by the industry.

Major highlights of Loop:

  • One account for trading on both Koinex & Loop
  • Currently supports Bitcoin, Ethereum & Ripple
  • Multiple payment options
  • Action reminders like SMS and automated phone calls
  • Direct communication via masked calling
  • Technology-enabled dispute resolution mechanism

Elated on the launch of Loop, Rahul Raj, Co-Founder & CEO, Koinex said, “Loop is in line with our mission to transform India into a hotbed of blockchain technology development, as Loop is a step closer to decentralized trading. This is a world class platform designed for Indian traders to find true value for their digital assets in midst of the ongoing market uncertainty.”

Adding to it, Aditya Naik, Co-Founder & CBO, Koinex said, “Loop is built on the principles of decentralisation, trust, security, data privacy and ease-of-use, to ensure our users to have the same seamless trading experience they are used to on Koinex. In fact, for Koinex & Loop, we have mandatory user KYC verification, which is optional on other platforms. We also have introduced a rating mechanism to establish reputation of the traders on the network which will help the community know the genuine and trustworthy traders and ensure trusted trading, with minimal disputes. We are currently working on building sophisticated algorithms to enhance the trust factor and discourage fraudulent activity”

Recently when the digital assets prices were plummeting in the Indian market due to absence of the INR corridor, Koinex introduced TrueUSD (TUSD) as a stable coin on the exchange. The TrueUSD trading market allowed users to trade against a fiat-backed stable coin and also hold their earnings and profits in form of TUSD, shielded from the market price volatility. Similarly, in the midst of the ongoing market uncertainty, Koinex offers a one-stop solution to keep the industry alive with the release of Loop.

Loop went live on July 17, 2018 and is bundled directly into the Koinex ecosystem.Loop is a big step forward for Koinex in its mission to be India’s largest trustworthy platform for digital assets trading.

UserTesting Highlights How Inflation Is Squeezing Indian Consumers, 75 Percent Join The Gig Economy To Meet Increased Cost Of Living

Inflation Is Squeezing Indian Consumers
  • On an average, 3 out of 5 Indians are witnessing the highest impact of inflation on entertainment and petrol expenditures
  • In order to save money, 65 percent of Indians are now buying their necessary products from generic brands
  • View consumer responses to the impact of inflation

India, July 13, 2022: UserTesting (NYSE: USER), a leader in video-based human insight, conducted a survey to understand the effects of the rising inflation on Indians’ spending habits and personal finances. As per the survey findings, over 95 percent of Indians reported that growing inflation is directly impacting their daily and monthly expenditure.

A host of cost pressures such as rising commodity prices, global supply disruptions, and more has been translated to end consumers in the form of elevated prices for goods and services across the board. Therefore, to meet basic needs, Indians are cutting back on their everyday expenses to meet their basic needs. About 60 percent of Indian respondents indicated that they are cutting back on entertainment and leisure activities such as movies, eating out, staycations, etc. Unsurprisingly, the respondents also mentioned minimizing personal car travel and opting for public transport to reduce their expenditure on petrol.

Mounting prices of essential commodities

Indians are facing the brunt of inflation majorly on petrol prices, as mentioned by 100 percent of the respondents during the survey. With essential grocery items such as bread witnessing a sharp rise in prices, 90 percent of the respondents have reported that it is becoming a burden to keep up with the inflation storm. Adding to the trouble, some respondents mentioned not having received any salary appraisals in the past year, leading to a reduction in personal savings for many.

Gig economy takes center stage amidst rising inflation

As inflation heats up, former motivations for side hustles, such as paying off debt and saving, have been replaced by a more pressing need: making ends meet. According to the survey, 75 percent of Indian respondents revealed that they are resorting to secondary sources of income to keep up with the increased cost of living. The popular options that were mentioned included freelancing and trading among other side gigs.

Indians replace their go-to shops: from big brands to local brands

Interestingly, the survey found that on average, 65 percent of Indians are buying from generic/local brands instead of name brands so as to save money. Stating that most generic brands are now offering the same quality of a product at a cheaper price, more than half of the Indians have shifted their focus on local brands, especially for purchases such as clothes and grocery items that are now being bought from local kirana shops.
