India has three major bitcoin exchanges; Zebpay, Unocoin and Coinsecure. All three have made announcements regarding Bitcoin Cash, as well as how each plans to suspend bitcoin services during the planned hard fork.
Zebpay , claims to be the biggest bitcoin exchange in India. Its app surpassed 500,000 Android downloads in May and ranked as the 7th most popular finance app in the Apple app store in June.
The company announced on Thursday that it will neither support Bitcoin Cash (BCC) nor its trading, stating that:
If you want access to Bitcoin Cash, please remove your bitcoins from your Zebpay wallet to a wallet in which you control the private keys on or before 31st July. Bitcoin Cash will not be available for customers who leave bitcoins in Zebpay.
In addition, the exchange is suspending bitcoin deposits and withdrawals from July 31 at 10 pm to August 2 at 10 am.
Unocoin
Unocoin has not planned or equipped to support other shorter and weaker chains if they pop up.
The company also announced a system maintenance of the site between July 30 and August 4 “to avoid any loss of customers’ coins via replay attacks and to choose the longer and safer chain to go with.” This period may be extended if necessary.
Coinsecure
If you do wish to have access to coins on the other forked chain or access your BTC during the fork, you should send your BTC from Coinsecure to your external address by July 30th.
