What is Bancor (BNT) and Why It's Discussed in India

Bancor (BNT) is the native token of Bancor, a decentralised exchange on Ethereum that was the first to launch an automated market maker, back in 2017. BNT acts as a connector token linking its liquidity pools, and is also used for staking and governance.

Bancor became known for single-sided staking and impermanent-loss protection, but paused that protection during a 2022 market crisis, affecting user trust. It is now much smaller and trades well below its high.

Key Considerations Before Buying Bancor (BNT)

Faded From Its Peak

BNT trades far below its all-time high, and Bancor is much smaller than it once was. Judge it on its current usage and role rather than on its early standing in DeFi.

The 2022 Trust Event

When Bancor paused its impermanent-loss protection during the 2022 market crisis, some liquidity providers faced losses they had not expected. This is worth understanding, as it affected confidence in the protocol.

Competitive Sector and Smart-Contract Risk

Bancor competes with larger decentralised exchanges, and, like any DeFi protocol, it depends on code that could contain bugs. Research its current activity before you invest in Bancor.

FAQs

Yes. Bancor (BNT) is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset under the Income-tax Act, so buying, holding, and selling are allowed, though it is not legal tender. India regulates crypto as a taxable, speculative asset, and platforms serving Indian users must be registered with FIU-IND under anti-money-laundering rules.

To buy Bancor for the first time, sign up on CoinDCX, complete KYC with your PAN and Aadhaar, deposit INR through UPI or IMPS, then open the BNT market and confirm your order. Most first-time buyers complete all four steps on the same day.

Add INR to your CoinDCX account by choosing UPI as the payment method, entering the amount, and approving the request in your UPI app. Once the balance reflects, open the BNT market, enter your INR amount, and confirm. UPI deposits are usually credited within minutes.

You do not need to buy a whole BNT. It supports fractional investing, so a small INR order buys a fraction of a token. The exact per-order minimum is shown on the CoinDCX order screen before you confirm.

Yes. Because BNT is divisible, you can start with as little as ₹100. Open the app, search for Bancor, tap Buy, enter the rupee amount, and confirm. The order fills at the live rate shown on screen.

BNT can be bought against the rupee on FIU-IND registered Indian exchanges, so no stablecoin conversion is needed. Because it is a smaller token, liquidity can be lower than for major coins. Judge any platform on FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, a direct INR pair, and custody practices such as cold storage and Proof of Reserves.

Buying and holding BNT is not taxed. Selling or swapping it triggers a flat 30% tax plus 4% cess under the Income-tax Act, 2025, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% under Section 194S. Additionally, a 1% TDS is deducted from the total trade value upon transfer under Section 393(1).Crypto losses cannot be set off against other income. Report gains in Schedule VDA and confirm your position with a chartered accountant.

Bancor is a DeFi pioneer with real token utility, a long track record, and a recognised name. Against that, it has faded from its peak, it trades well below its all-time high, its 2022 pause of impermanent-loss protection hurt trust, and it competes with larger exchanges. This makes it a higher-risk asset, so research it in full and treat any decision as your own.

Bancor is a decentralised exchange that lets people trade tokens directly from liquidity pools rather than through a traditional order book, using an automated market maker. Liquidity providers deposit assets into pools and earn a share of trading fees. The BNT token connects these pools and is also used for staking and governance across the Bancor protocol.

Bancor offered a feature meant to compensate liquidity providers for impermanent loss. During the 2022 market downturn, the protocol paused this protection to defend the BNT token, and some providers ended up with less than they expected on withdrawal. It is an important episode to understand, because it shaped how many users view the project’s promises today.
