What is Catizen (CATI) and Why It's Discussed in India

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. 

Why Buy Catizen (CATI) in India?

  • A Genuinely Popular Game: Catizen is one of the most-played games on Telegram, with tens of millions of registered users.
  • Real Revenue: Unlike many crypto games, it generates real revenue from in-app purchases.
  • A Fixed Supply: CATI has a permanently capped one-billion supply that cannot be increased.
  • Token Utility: CATI is used for governance, for in-game purchases, and for staking.
  • Round-the-Clock Market: The CATI market operates 24/7, so you can buy Catizen online whenever it is convenient for you.
  • Direct INR Access: You can buy CATI with INR on CoinDCX using its supported INR deposit and trading options.
  • Start Small: CATI has a low unit price, so you can invest in Catizen with as little as ₹100.

Key Considerations Before Buying Catizen (CATI)

A Faded Sector

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.

Airdrop-Driven and Faded

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.

Prioritise Security

Turn on app-based two-factor authentication, and confirm the exact token and ticker before you place your order.

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.
