🎯 Key Differentiators
- ✓ INR Settlement Model: Delta Exchange pioneered INR-settled crypto derivatives in India, allowing traders to deposit and withdraw funds directly from their bank accounts without holding crypto tokens or stablecoins.
- ✓ Tax Advantages: Since derivatives trading is classified as speculative business income, traders are exempt from the 30% capital gains tax and 1% TDS that apply to direct crypto transactions in India.
- ✓ Options Trading: Delta Exchange is the only platform in India offering cryptocurrency options on BTC and ETH, providing advanced hedging and strategy opportunities.
- ✓ Innovative Products: In August 2025, Delta launched "Trackers" - derivative contracts that mirror crypto price movements without requiring direct asset ownership, featuring ultra-low trading fees of just 0.05%.
Futures: Daily, weekly, and monthly expiries on BTC, ETH, XRP, XLM, AAVE, and BNB
Perpetual Swaps: Indefinite position holding with funding rates
Options: BTC and ETH options with various strikes and expiries
Trackers: Low-fee derivative contracts at 0.05% vs ~0.5% spot market fees
