It has been a few hours since Zebpay announced shutting down their exchange. Zebpay is one of the largest crypto exchanges in India which saw the volume dip drastically after RBI’s ring fencing on regulated entities.
Over the course of last six months since RBI’s controversial decision, Zebpay tried to pivot to various other solutions such as opening a crypto to crypto exchange, listing stable coin such as TUSD and also joining the battle in Supreme Court against the RBI.
But alas, only a few survive. Zebpay, earlier today announced “At 4 p.m. today (28 September 2018), we will cancel all unexecuted crypto-to-crypto orders and credit your coins / tokens back to your Zebpay wallet. No new orders will be accepted until further notice.”
Zebpay is unarguably one of the biggest forces that promoted Bitcoin in India. Hence, they have the largest userbase as well. A userbase so attractive, exchanges will kill for acquisition.
Here’s how other exchanges are trying to attract Zebpay users with offers, referrals and many other options. Zebpay has increased the withdrawal fees on the exchange as well, so this becomes an added bonus for the Zebpay users looking for alternatives.
Coindelta
The exchange announced a rebate of withdrawal fees to all Zebpay users who choose to transfer their crypto to Coindelta wallets.
Until 2 PM on Sep 29, Zebpay users can withdraw their funds to coindelta wallet, email the screenshot from Zebpay app with transaction hash to claim the withdrawal fees back.
Coindelta is here to support Zebpay users during this hard time.

Bitbns
Even Bitbns exchange has offered to refund the withdrawal fees for users who transfer cryptocurrency from Zebpay to Bitbns. Bitbns is keeping the offer open indefinitely but asking the users to either keep the crypto for 7 days in the wallets or trade with it.
A user migrating the crypto to Bitbns has to post the screenshot of the transaction with the transaction hash and a hashtag #MigrateToBitbns to receive the refund.
On every deposit to Bitbns from @zebpay the withdrawal (fees) would be refunded if the entire amount is either held for the next week or traded.
@Bitbns on Twitter
This is applicable from all deposits made from 3 pm today on Bitbns on every coin we support #IfCryptoThenBitbns
