Can I top up my account in £ in Australia?

Hi all,

 

I am new to this, keen to get into trading some UK stock.

 

I have had my account for a couple of weeks now but am yet to make my first trade as I have a bit of a conundrum.

 

I am a British citizen now living in Australia. I have money in the bank in the UK (remaining inheritance left over after using a chunk for a house deposit over here) and this is what I was hoping to trade with, however my account seems to be working in AUD.

 

Is there any way to avoid having to convert my £ in to $ before trading it in £?

 

Thanks for reading!

    • Decentralization is getting more popular and that is the real reason why the crypto and Blockchain ecosystem was developed in the first place, and we keep seeing new Dex trading project coming up with advanced features.  Decentralized trading has started gaining attention recently,and with a good reason. Decentralized exchanges are rapidly providing advantages against centralized exchanges, such as more leverage, onchain order books, tighter spreads, and a more engaging trading experience. One platform that stands out in this arena is Hyperliquid, which has caught my interest because of its unique approach to decentralized perpetual trading.   One of the most notable aspects of Hyperliquid is its focus on providing a seamless decentralized perpetual exchange service. The platform facilitates perpetual futures trading directly on its native L1 blockchain, which sets it apart from other DEXs. What makes Hyperliquid even more attractive is its elimination of gas fees for transactions. This feature drastically reduces the cost barrier for traders, making it a more accessible platform. Moreover, this gas-free model contributes to enhanced transaction speed and efficiency, delivering a smoother and faster trading experience.   Given these advantages, I’ve decided to keep a close eye on Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, especially as it’s now available for farming on the BingX Xpool. Participating in token farming not only supports the ecosystem but can also be a rewarding way to earn while engaging with this cutting edge DEX platform.   This is also another way of putting idle assets to work like BTC and USDT, as holders are holding BTC and waiting for it to rise to make more profits or holding USDT in preparation to buy newly found tokens, you can stake these assets on BingX XPool and share 150,000 HYPE tokens effortlessly. This is a good way to earn HYPE tokens before it hits the exchange spot market. Sign up on BingX to join the XPool Here    
    • When I first heard about $MOVE, I didn’t think much of it. Let’s face it—there’s always another “hyped” coin making the rounds. But something interesting around this token made me curious enough to take a second look. People were raving about its Ethereum Layer 2 scalability and lightning-fast 30k TPS. The technology seemed solid.   After reading more about $MOVE and its potential, I looked into Bitget pre-market. At a price of just $0.538, it seemed like a calculated risk worth taking. When the token was officially listed, the price shot up, and those early gains got a good return. That said, crypto is a risky game, and I always remind myself not to get swept up in the hype.   For every win, there’s a chance of loss, and that’s why staying informed and investing only what you can afford to lose is crucial. Still, experiences like this keep me excited about exploring new opportunities. Whether it’s $MOVE or the next big thing, doing your research, staying engaged, and being cautious can make all the difference!
