On June 10, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)-licensed crypto exchange Philippine Digital Asset Exchange (PDAX) unveiled its limit order feature to allow crypto investors to set a specific price at which they want to buy or sell cryptocurrency.

What’s the Significance: The introduction of this feature enhances user control and aligns with global trading standards, where limit order is a common feature across exchanges.

  • Traders can specify buying or selling prices, manage multiple orders per token, and track order history conveniently
  • It’s a highly requested feature at PDAX, which transitioned in 2023 when it rolled a “system switch” to simplified trading.

Prior to the release: PDAX told BitPinas that the firm is in a constant dialogue with their community, and are collaborating on how they can offer an optimal trading experience.

However: While the limit order feature offers greater control, users should remain vigilant of market fluctuations that may affect order execution.
