We’re thrilled to announce that KoinBX, a global cryptocurrency exchange, has officially integrated GalaChain and listed both ETH (GalaChain) and $GALA (GalaChain) for trading. This development marks another milestone in our journey to provide seamless and efficient blockchain experiences for our users, particularly in India—a country rapidly embracing cryptocurrency at an unprecedented scale.
What This Means for You
With this integration, KoinBX users can now deposit funds directly from their GalaChain token inventory. Funds are securely stored in a dedicated GalaChain wallet on the exchange, enabling the exchange of both $GALA (GalaChain) and ETH (GalaChain) without bridging assets to Ethereum. This eliminates friction, enhances transaction speed and reduces costs—perfect for a fast-evolving market like India.
Why India? The Crypto Growth Frontier
India has emerged as a global leader in cryptocurrency adoption, according to a late-2024 report by Chainalysis. Despite a stringent regulatory environment and often tough governmental stance, the country’s tech-savvy population has embraced the potential of blockchain technology and digital assets, making it an ideal region for expanding GalaChain’s global footprint.
Gratitude and Collaboration
We extend our deepest gratitude to KoinBX for their support and collaboration. This partnership not only enhances the accessibility of GalaChain to Indian users but also underscores our commitment to empowering communities worldwide with decentralized solutions.
Another Step Toward a Decentralized Future
This integration with KoinBX is a testament to GalaChain’s versatility and our mission to drive blockchain adoption globally. We’re excited to see how this development fosters greater participation and innovation in our ecosystem.

Behind the scenes for the past few years, Gala has been running a special regenerative agriculture initiative program through various “retreat” farming properties around the world. Health and wellness is very important to us, and many of the health crises currently facing the United States (and the world) can be traced back to irresponsible farming practices.
Costa Rica – This farm beautifully demonstrates symbiosis with the natural ecosystem without negative impacts on indigenous flora and fauna.
By creating custom havens for sustainable and organic food production that embrace natural ecosystems instead of interfering with them, we can demonstrate a better and more sustainable way of providing food to local communities.
Sonoma, CA – Gala’s California farm produces regenerative wine and a wide variety of organic fruits and vegetables without hindering the vibrant natural ecosystem.
Each property is specifically designed to amplify the natural life of its surroundings, no matter where the farm is located, restoring the soil and making the most of the land.
Virginia – Sustainable harvested maple syrup is bottled at Gala’s Virginia Farm.
As the Gala platforms and ecosystems continue to grow, so will a variety of important regenerative agriculture projects, restoring and renewing some of the world’s most important resources in a way that leads to abundance instead of lack.
