The 'ANX Vault' app now includes the all-important send and receive functions vital to any bitcoin wallet. Although always available on the Android version, these features have only now appeared for iOS.
has also upgraded the Android version. Both Android and iOS editions of ANX Vault now feature the ability to send bitcoin via email to recipients who do not yet have bitcoin addresses.
Security features
Both versions of the app support optional three-factor authentication, although, to still allow fast transactions, the app allows users to set daily spending limits that bypass the security feature.
The exchange says that other security features include the ability to disable send privileges from a user's desktop account in the event of a lost mobile device, OTP (one-time password) support for logging in and sending funds, and 'industry standard' encryption for all data communication.
Multi-currency platform and sending
Although based in Hong Kong, ANX aims for an international client base for both its full exchange and mobile apps. The platform supports the world's most-traded fiat currencies (AUD, CAD, GBP, CHF, EUR, HKD, JPY, NZD, SGD and USD) and some of its most popular cryptocurrencies (BTC, DOGE, LTC, NMC, and PPC).
Users set a home currency in which to view their total portfolio balance, and can view up-to-date exchange rates between cryptocurrency and fiat trading pairs. All cryptocurrency assets are viewable in a single comprehensive listing.
BTC, LTC and DOGE can be sent to any other supported cryptocoin address with conversion performed by the exchange. The Android version also allows this feature for PPC and NMC.
Standard features on any serious trading app are live updates and configurable price alerts, which ANX Vault also allows its users to set.
The apps are available from their respective outlets: Apple's iOS App Store and the Google Play Store.
ANX exchanges
Although founded in June 2013, ANX has quickly grown to have the world's sixth-largest trade volume, thanks to its wide selection of currencies. In Hong Kong, where it is licensed as a Money Services Operator, the exchange manages a bitcoin ATM and physical shopfront-style trading point.
The company recently launched a bitcoin debit card service, giving users another way to withdraw and spend their cryptocurrency wealth in a still fiat-dominated world.
Its founding partners come from a financial industry background and have stated that transparency and regulatory compliance are high priorities.
The company has two online exchange platforms, the consumer focused ANXBTC and the ANXPRO exchange aimed at professional traders.

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

Bitcoin trader warns of downside as gold rally continues to pull focus from BTC
Crypto prices stabilized after an early-week dip, but bitcoin continued to trail gold and silver as macro trades dominated after the Fed’s policy hold.
What to know:
- Bitcoin hovered around $88,000 after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged, with trading subdued despite modest gains in ether, solana, BNB and dogecoin.
- A sharp rebound in the U.S. dollar and continued strength in commodities, especially record-high gold and elevated silver and copper, have overshadowed crypto markets.
- Analysts say bitcoin is trading more like a high-beta risk asset than a macro hedge, stuck in a bearish consolidation about 30 percent below its October peak and struggling to break above key resistance near $89,000.
