'Regulatory risk...the biggest risk': Nithin Kamath on RBI's currency derivative

The Reserve Bank of India's new restrictions on unhedged currency derivatives is expected to lead to the downfall of currency derivative trading for retail traders. Nithin Kamath, the co-founder of Zerodha, stated that regulatory risk is the biggest threat faced by stock brokers. As per the RBI circular from 5 January, traders must showcase contracted or potential currency exposure to participate in currency derivatives on stock exchanges. Traders with an exposure above $100 million need to appoint a custodian participant or an authorized dealer, while those with smaller exposure require a declaration stating they are trading currencies to hedge contracted exposure.

Groww widens lead over Zerodha in Oct despite market slowdown

Groww widens lead over Zerodha in Oct despite market slowdown Amid a slowdown in India’s retail broking industry, wealth-tech platform Groww was the only major player to record growth in October 2025. According to NSE data, Groww added 1.38 lakh active demat accounts during the month, taking its total to 1.2 crore (12 million). Other leading discount brokers saw a decline in active users. Zerodha and Angel One reported drops of 62,000 and 34,000 accounts, respectively, while Upstox lost about 59,000. The total number of active demat accounts across the top 25 brokers slipped 0.13% in October, indicating a phase of consolidation in the retail investing segment. Among traditional players, ICICI Securities and SBI Caps added 13,000 and 25,000 accounts, respectively. Paytm gained around 30,000 new accounts, while most other brokers, including HDFC and Kotak Securities, reported small declines. Digital-first platforms continue to lead the broking market, with Groww, Zerodha, and Angel One together holding over 57% of NSE demat accounts. Groww accounts for about 26.6% of the total, highlighting its growing share among retail investors. Between July and October 2025, the number of active demat accounts across leading brokers fell from 4.72 crore (47.2 million) to 4.52 crore (45.2 million), reflecting the slowdown after the post-pandemic expansion. The rate of decline has eased, pointing to early signs of stabilization in the market. Groww’s continued growth indicates steady user additions despite the broader industry slowdown.

SEBI to tighten stock derivative, financial influencer rules

India's securities regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), is expected to tighten rules for derivatives trading by requiring stocks to have sufficient liquidity and trading interest.

Further changes to delisting rules to facilitate easier exits for companies will also be considered.
