Axi Digital Australia: a crypto exchange for veteran traders

Why we exist

Most crypto exchanges open to Australians are built for first-time buyers, or run from offshore. We're building for people who already trade: an Australian company, Australian dollars, Australian rules.

Axi has been a home for traders since 2007. Axi Digital is our move into crypto.

We're not open yet. This page is where we say what we're building, what's done, and what's still ahead. We'll update it as we go.

What we're building

At launchPhase 1

Spot trading in a short list of major tokens
Australian dollars in and out, by PayID
Every trade settled in Australian dollars
Web app

After launchPhases 2 and 3, in roughly this order

API access, an MCP server for AI agents, TradingView, and tools for traders who run a system
Crypto deposits and withdrawals, with Travel Rule checks built in
Mobile app
More tokens, each one assessed before it's listed

Higher limits, and wholesale client access for those who qualify
Sign in with your existing Axi account

How we're going about it

Licensed before we open. We won't take on a customer until the regulatory basics are in place for what we're offering them.
Your money stays your money. Client Australian dollars sit in a separate client trust account at an APRA-regulated Australian bank, apart from our own funds.
Institutional custody. Client crypto is safeguarded by a specialist third-party custody provider built for institutions.
Every token is assessed before it's listed. Including whether Australian law treats it as a financial product.
