Buy Cetus Protocol in India at ₹Loading price...

Yes, Cetus Protocol (CETUS) 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 Cetus Protocol for the first time, sign up on CoinDCX, complete KYC with your PAN and Aadhaar, deposit INR through UPI or IMPS, then open the CETUS market and confirm your order.

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 CETUS market, enter your INR amount, and confirm.

CETUS has a low unit price and it supports fractional investing, so a small INR order buys several tokens. The exact per-order minimum is shown on the CoinDCX order screen before you confirm.

Yes, because CETUS has a low unit price, ₹100 buys several tokens. Open the app, search for Cetus Protocol, tap Buy, enter the rupee amount, and confirm.

CETUS can be bought against the rupee on FIU-IND registered Indian exchanges that list it. As its price varies across sources, 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 CETUS 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.

Cetus is a real, leading decentralised exchange on Sui with genuine usage and token utility, and it recovered most funds and relaunched after its 2025 hack. But that roughly $223 million hack was one of the year’s largest, DeFi carries smart-contract risk and CETUS is far below its high and depends on Sui.

Cetus is a decentralised exchange, a place to swap tokens from your own wallet, built on Sui and also Aptos. Its speciality is concentrated liquidity, letting providers focus funds in price ranges to earn fees efficiently, making it a key liquidity source for Sui.

In May 2025 an attacker exploited a flaw in Cetus’s liquidity maths, tricking it into treating a small deposit as a fortune and draining around $223 million. Sui validators froze about $162 million, later returned, and Cetus refilled pools and relaunched within about two and a half weeks.

CoinDCX is considered one of the leading platforms in India, with FIU-IND registration under the PMLA, ISO/IEC certification, direct INR funding via UPI, IMPS, NEFT and RTGS, and published Proof of Reserves.

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 screen access. If you withdraw to a personal wallet, check the address and network, and send a small test amount first, because transfers cannot be reversed.
