After the 2021 easter holiday, AAX recorded the highest amount of fiat deposits into the exchange with a total of over 10 million USD in 10 days. The top three currencies are Hong Kong Dollar, Singapore Dollar, and Great Britain Pound.
AAX supports three methods for depositing fiat, including peer-to-peer trading, fiat gateways supported by fiat gateway partners, and direct bank transfer powered by First Digital Trust, the digital custody arm of Hong Kong-licensed and publicly registered trust company, Legacy Trust.
“For many years, the on and off-ramps between crypto and fiat have acted as a bottleneck,” said AAX’s CEO, Thor Chan. “Now that the infrastructure is in place, we’re seeing more and more individuals transition into Bitcoin for its disinflationary qualities or seek exposure to altcoins for portfolio diversification.”
“While our peer-to-peer and Fast Buy platforms are effective in serving most retail traders, with First Digital Trust we’re also able to serve high net worth investors as well as traders that are looking for cross-currency arbitrage opportunities.”
AAX, a member of the London Stock Exchange Group’s institutional partner platform, gives its investors the same tools and market infrastructure as what institutional investors generally expect to see on traditional exchanges.
Investors of all levels will find that AAX’s platform caters to their every need. Its newly created fiat deposit services provided through First Digital Trust adds an extra layer of trust to ease any concerns new investors in crypto might have when entering the crypto space.
