🇮🇳 Send USDC to India
India is home to one of the world’s largest pools of developers, designers, and freelancers working for clients abroad — and one of its largest crypto user bases. Coinbax Send moves USDC wallet-to-wallet on Base with an escrow window you control, so paying a new contractor in Bangalore doesn’t mean wiring money into the void and hoping.
How it works
1. Connect your wallet
MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet. No sign-up, no deposit — you send straight from the wallet you already use.
2. Enter their address and set your window
Paste your recipient's wallet address, choose the amount of USDC or USDT, and pick a hold window from 5 minutes to 7 days. The exact total — fee included — is shown before you sign.
3. The funds escrow on-chain until you're sure
The stablecoins sit in an escrow smart contract on Base — not with the recipient, not with Coinbax. Cancel for a full refund, release early once your recipient in India confirms, or let the contract release automatically.
Built for sending across borders
The hardest part of paying someone in India from abroad is trust in an address you can't double-check in person. A normal stablecoin transfer is final the instant you sign it — one wrong character and the money is gone. Coinbax Send holds every transfer in escrow for a window you choose, lets you invite your recipient to confirm their wallet address by email before you pay, and screens both sides of every send against the OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists through Chainalysis. If anything looks wrong, you cancel and the full amount comes back.
What your recipient gets
USDC, delivered to their own self-custodial wallet on Base — a US-dollar-denominated stablecoin they control completely. From there they can hold it, spend it where stablecoins are accepted, or exchange it for Indian rupees through third-party services available in India. That last step is theirs and happens outside Coinbax Send: we move stablecoins wallet-to-wallet and never convert currency, deliver fiat, or hold funds for either side.
Frequently asked questions
How do I send USDC to someone in India?
Connect your wallet at send.coinbax.com, enter your recipient's wallet address, choose the amount and a hold window from 5 minutes to 7 days, and sign with your own wallet. The USDC moves into an on-chain escrow contract on Base; it releases to your recipient when the window passes, or earlier if you release it yourself. Until then you can cancel for a full refund.
What does my recipient in India need to receive USDC?
Only a self-custodial wallet that supports the Base network — such as MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet. The USDC arrives directly in their wallet; they don't need a Coinbax Send account, and Coinbax never holds the funds for either side.
How does my recipient turn USDC into Indian rupees?
That part is up to them, outside of Coinbax Send. Recipients can hold USDC as a US-dollar-denominated balance, spend it where stablecoins are accepted, or exchange it for Indian rupees through third-party services available in India. Coinbax Send only handles the wallet-to-wallet transfer — it does not convert currency or deliver fiat.
Why do people use stablecoins to send to India?
India consistently ranks at the top of global crypto-adoption indexes, and stablecoins are the practical end of that adoption: a US-dollar-denominated asset that arrives in minutes and stays in the recipient’s own wallet. Send adds sender-side protection — an escrow hold, recipient verification, and the ability to cancel a mistaken transfer before it settles.
