BitMEX has announced the release of BitMEX Mobile, offering users of the crypto exchange a mobile trading platform. The app can be downloaded via the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
The release of BitMEX’s new app is part of the crypto exchange’s recent push to provide a new user experience on the crypto exchange. Available to download in over 140 countries, BitMEX Mobile intends to give users full control of all account features.
“Our global audience, many of them are mobile first, so having an innate mobile application that allows them to access our product and our services should help increase our user base,” Ben Radclyffe, commercial director of 100x Group—the holding company for the BitMEX platform—told Decrypt.
The BitMEX Mobile app provides the user with six new features. An intuitive order builder feature enables traders to quickly create limit, stop and take profit orders. An ability to swipe on any page will allow the user to manage their open positions. Deposits and withdrawals will also be possible through the app interface itself.
In addition, the BitMEX Mobile app provides access to real-time market data, coupled with push notifications that provide the user with information about deposits pending, deposit confirmation, liquidation, among others.
Lastly, improvements to user security has been addressed, as login notifications and biometric authentication have been included in the app.
The release of BitMEX Mobile follows a pilot rollout period that included 18 countries. “Feedback so far has been excellent, we’re already live now in 140 countries as of the middle of last week,” Radclyffe said.
The app is also designed to be complementary to the traditional desktop experience already offered to BitMEX users. “If you’ve ever tried using any of these platforms through a Chrome browser on a tiny screen, it’s a slightly degraded experience as you can imagine,” Radclyffe added.
Now you can get the full BitMEX experience, on the go.
