The introduction of the Indian central bank digital currency (CBDC) on the exchange will enhance security for rupee users, the exchange said.


The e-rupee will be available as a wallet-based payment solution. It joins existing Bybit options for payment in rupees by bank transfer, third-party services such as Paytm and India’s Unified Payments Interface, which is the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI’s) national payments portal.The e-rupee expands payment options


With the digital rupee, users “can mitigate the risk of their bank accounts being targeted by cybercriminals,” Dubai-based Bybit assured in a statement. Bybit sales and marketing director Joan Han said:"By incorporating the eRupee payment, Bybit aims to elevate the payment experience for INR [Indian rupee] users, fostering trust and reliability in every transaction. Furthermore, this initiative is expected to attract a wider pool of merchants to the platform.”


At present, the e-rupee is used on Bybit for peer-to-peer crypto transactions. The Indian CBDC is a pilot project. The retail e-rupee was launched in December 2022, shortly after the debut of the wholesale version.Source: Unknown Harsh


In March 2023, the RBI and the United Arab Emirates Central Bank signed a memorandum of understanding on a CBDC bridge between the jurisdictions.

The presence of the digital rupee (or any CBDC) on a crypto exchange is noteworthy. Despite efforts by banks and retailers to popularize the retail e-rupee, its usage has been lackluster so far. As of June, the retail e-rupee had 5 million users. The RBI plans to add offline capabilities to the e-rupee, which could increase its usage in areas with limited internet access.


Programmability was added to the digital rupee this year. The first use of the programmable e-rupee was for reimbursement of carbon credit to farmers by IndusInd Bank in April. Nonetheless, the wholesale e-rupee use has been limited, and it has been criticized for being “cumbersome” to use.
