If you invest in stocks or at least know someone who does, then I am sure you must be aware about Smallcase, right? It is a basket of stocks that reflects a theme, strategy or objective. Similarly, bond baskets, offered by a few OBPPs like Grip Invest, IndiaBonds, and The Fixed Income.

But but but, did you know that a similar concept is present for cryptocurrencies too! Just like Smallcase is for equities, OBPPs are for bonds, there are crypto baskets for investing in a pool for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, etc.

Cryptocurrency platforms such as Mudrex, Zebpay, Delta Exchange and Unocoin are offering crypto baskets. In this blog of ours, we are simplifying this concept of crypto baskets, also known by names like coin sets, crypto packs or basket order across the industry.

But before we dive into the product as a whole, let us first check out the cryptocurrency baskets being offered by some crypto platforms in India:

Mudrex

One of the prominent players in the Indian crypto market, Mudrex is a US-headquartered and Bengaluru-based crypto platform which aims to make crypto accessible to the masses and facilitates crypto buying, trading and investment. It was founded in 2018 by Alankar Saxena and Edul Patel.

Mudrex had launched ’Coin Sets’ in September 2023. Coin Sets are theme-based baskets of cryptocurrencies, curated by experts. Their platform currently offers 20 baskets (as on 11th April, 2025), which you can sort (as per market cap or popularity), and filter as per themes like top gainers, trending, buying the dip, newly launched baskets, etc.

ZebPay

Nearly a decade after being founded by Sandeep Goenka, Mahin Gupta and Saurabh Agrawal in 2014, Zebpay, which is one of the oldest crypto exchanges in India, had launched crypto baskets in August 2023. Known as ‘crypto packs’, these baskets help you effortlessly invest in a bundle of cryptocurrencies at the click of a button. The crypto baskets are curated by experienced professionals, who hand pick the crypto tokens and pre-balance the basket to optimise risk and returns.

Unocoin

Founded in 2013 by Sathvik Vishwanath, Harish BV, Abhinand Kaseti and Sunny Ray, Unocoin was the first crypto exchange platform to enter the Bitcoin space in India.

As far as its crypto baskets are concerned, they are curated by experts, and enable you to invest in a curated selection of top-performing cryptocurrencies, catering to different risk appetites and preferences.

Once you click on any of these baskets, you can see the description to know what that basket offers, as well as the crypto coins included in it, along with the weekly, monthly and yearly returns.

Delta Exchange

Founded in 2018 by Pankaj Balani, Jitender Tokas and Saurabh Goyal, Delta Exchange is a high-performance crypto derivatives exchange for both retail and institutional traders. It had officially launched its Indian platform in June 2024, and it claims to be India’s first and only crypto platform to offer options trading.

It also offers pro-trading features such as crypto basket orders with margin benefits, through which you can place multiple orders together as a basket, thus enabling margin offsetting for the investor.

Simply put, a basket order contains multiple futures and/ or options contracts with the same underlying asset. These are often used in trading strategies that involve multiple positions.

For example, a cryptocurrency trader may use a basket order to simultaneously open or close several options contracts that are defined on the same underlying asset. By executing multiple trades as a single transaction, the crypto trader can manage the risk of the overall position more effectively.

How Can Crypto Baskets Help Investors?

Start investing in crypto with just Rs 100

With crypto exchange platforms allowing you to start investing in baskets with just Rs 100 or Rs 1,000, they remove a big entry barrier which is otherwise present due to the high prices of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (around Rs 70 lakh per BTC), Ethereum (around Rs 1.3 lakh per ETH), PAX Gold (Rs 2.7 lakh per PAXG), etc.

Curated by experts

Given that the crypto baskets are not just randomly chosen crypto coins, and in fact backed by experts, you get that added confidence as an investor regarding the quality and potential of the basket’s investments.

Lowers risk through diversification

With a mix of crypto coins in the basket, you get to diversify your portfolio and also mitigate the risk by having different cryptos spread under your umbrella, instead of having a high concentration of a single cryptocurrency.

Also, with multiple crypto coins coming into your portfolio through every basket, the need for you to monitor individual currencies separately gets minimized, thus saving your efforts and time which would otherwise have gone into checking each of them’s historical performance and tracking them.

Theme based selection

As per your risk appetite and objective, you can select baskets based on their theme, i.e. the sectors or categories of cryptocurrencies, such as top gainers, mid-cap basket, stablecoins basket, trending coins, newly launched baskets, etc.

Convenience

And ofcourse, with just a click or two, you can invest in a bundle of cryptocurrencies curated by experts, thus saving your time and efforts in researching and then finalizing each and every crypto coin to invest in.

Conclusion

In conclusion, it’s fair to say that cryptocurrency baskets offer a convenient and strategic way for investors to diversify their portfolios in the volatile world of digital currencies. By allowing investments in a curated selection of cryptocurrencies, these baskets lower the entry barrier and provide an opportunity to start investing with minimal amounts. The expert curation of these baskets instills confidence in investors, while the theme-based selection caters to different risk appetites and investment objectives.

Overall, crypto baskets simplify the investment process, reduce risk through diversification, and save time and effort, making them an attractive option for both new and seasoned investors looking to explore the cryptocurrency market.

Moreover, with the Indian government seeming to become ready to review its otherwise opposing stance on cryptocurrency, the future holds at least some promise for further growth and integration of digital currencies into the mainstream financial ecosystem.
