allows users to send bitcoin to top up pre-paid mobile phone services in 117 countries worldwide, though not yet in Australia itself.
There is no registration requirement, with users needing to supply only their phone number, an email address and bitcoins to top up their account from $10 to $100.
The service is likely to be an advantage for people living in countries where mobile payments via SMS are common, and access to banking and credit cards less so.
BitMoby will now compete at the national awards, to be held in Melbourne from 25th–27th August.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
Wat u moet weten:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
