Catizen (CATI) is the token of one of the most popular games on Telegram, a cat-themed “merge-to-earn” game on The Open Network (TON) where players build a virtual cat city. It stands out for scale, with tens of millions of users and real in-app revenue, and CATI has a fixed one-billion supply. However, CATI trades far below its 2024 high, about half its supply is still locked, and the wider tap-to-earn sector has faded, so treat it as a high-risk asset. In India, CATI is treated as a Virtual Digital Asset (VDA) under the Income-tax Act, so you can legally buy, hold, and sell it.
FIU-IND registration, ISO/IEC certification, and offline cold storage help keep customer assets secure.
Trade CATI anytime, with UPI and IMPS deposits typically credited within minutes.

CoinDCX provides tools and guides that help first-time investors get started with Catizen.

The 2024 boom in Telegram “tap-to-earn” games has cooled sharply, and interest across the whole category has dropped. Many similar games saw their tokens fall hard once their airdrops were over.

Much of Catizen’s early demand came from players farming the airdrop and then selling. The token trades roughly 96% below its launch high, and more tokens are still scheduled to unlock over time.

Turn on app-based two-factor authentication, and confirm the exact token and ticker before you place your order.
Follow these 4 simple steps to start investing in Catizen (CATI) in India:
Create your account and complete KYC.
Transfer INR via UPI, IMPS, NEFT or RTGS.
Open the CATI market and check the live price.
Enter the INR amount and confirm your order.
Before buying CATI, add INR to your CoinDCX account via UPI, IMPS, NEFT, or RTGS.
Yes. Catizen (CATI) 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 CATI for the first time, sign up on an FIU-IND registered exchange that lists the token and follow the steps suggested on the platform.
Catizen is currently available in USDT but not in INR on CoinDCX. Stay tuned for updates on when you can buy CATI in INR on our platform.
Add INR to your crypto exchange app by choosing UPI as the payment method, entering the amount, and approving the request in your UPI app. Once the balance reflects, open the CATI market, enter your INR amount, and confirm.

You do not need to buy a whole CATI, which costs a lot per token. You can buy a fraction of an CATI token with as little as ₹100.
Yes. Even though one CATI costs a large amount, the token is divisible. You can buy a fraction of an CATI token with as little as ₹100.
CATI can be bought against the rupee on FIU-IND registered Indian exchanges that list it. As a gaming token, its price can be volatile and varies across sources, so check the live rate. 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 CATI is not taxed. Selling or swapping your tokens triggers a flat 30% tax plus 4% cess on profits, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.2% under the Income-tax Act, 2025. Additionally, a 1% TDS is deducted from the total trade value upon transfer under Section 393(1) of the Act. Crypto losses cannot be set off against other income. Report gains in Schedule VDA and confirm your position with a chartered accountant.
Catizen stands out from many crypto games because it has a genuinely large player base, real in-app revenue, and a fixed supply. Against that, the Telegram tap-to-earn sector has cooled, a popular game does not guarantee a rising token, much early demand was airdrop-driven, it trades roughly 96% below its launch high, and more tokens are still unlocking. This makes it a high-risk asset, so research the game’s current activity and treat any decision as your own.
A game can have millions of players while its token falls, because the two are driven by different things. The token’s price depends on how many people are buying versus selling it and on overall market sentiment, not directly on player numbers. In Catizen’s case, many users joined mainly to farm the airdrop and sold their tokens soon after, adding heavy selling pressure, and the entire Telegram tap-to-earn sector cooled after its 2024 peak. More tokens are also still being released over time, which adds supply.

Enable app-based two-factor authentication rather than SMS, and use a password you have not reused elsewhere. Never share an OTP, seed phrase, or remote access to your screen. No genuine support agent will ask for them. If you withdraw to a personal wallet, check the address and network carefully and send a small test amount first, because on-chain transfers cannot be reversed.
