Axi does not state whether JPY or USD is more advantageous. The surest way to decide is by the account type you will use and the method you will deposit with.
Can you change your Axi account currency? Not stated officially
The official account types page and fees page we checked say nothing about changing the account currency or about extra accounts in each currency. Help articles suggest that you can hold several trading accounts.
- 01Decide the account type to open
Choosing Elite means you cannot use JPY. If a JPY account is a must, choose Standard or Premium.
- 02Look at how deposit minimums are written
Some methods are written in yen and others in dollars. Decide the method you will use first.
- 03Check the currency choices on the registration screen
The currencies you can choose are those shown on the account opening screen.
- 04Ask support if you need a change
Because Axi does not state it, ask Axi support whether a change is possible and how.
Open an account once you have decided your Axi currency
- Decide the account type and account currency before you register
- Complete ID verification within 28 days of opening
- Deposit from an account in your own name, at or above the minimum for the method
Because of leverage, FX and CFD trading can lose more than you invest. Choosing an account currency does not guarantee trading results.

Conditions change by account, country of residence and time, so the official information shown during registration takes priority.
