What is Atani?
You might have come across Atani before and not realized it because the company and app were originally called Etoshi. Launched as a standalone desktop PC app in 2019 it began and still has versions for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. There is no web-based version, primarily for security reasons. However, Atani recently released a mobile version of the platform for both Android and iOS devices. According to Atani they will be releasing new versions regularly in the coming weeks and months to provide full portfolio tracking and trading functionality. Also, in terms of security, it will be as secure as the most secure non-custodial mobile wallet.
The Atani interface remains simple and intuitive, and it can be used to execute trades on more than 20 of the top global cryptocurrency exchanges. The terminal also includes real-time data that can be used to calculate portfolio values or even tax liabilities. Later in the review we’ll go into both these features in greater detail.

Connecting an Exchange to Atani
In order to connect your chosen exchange with Atani for trading purposes you’ll first need an API Key from the exchange. This is how you authenticate and connect to the exchange when using the Atani terminal.
Atani also makes it easy and convenient to create an account with an exchange right from within the Atani app. That way if you need an account at a new exchange it’s a simple process and you never need to leave the app. Plus Atani can get you some trading discounts when you register with certain crypto exchanges.
Atani Features
As you might have already guessed from what’s already been included in this review Atani has done an amazing job at packing the app with all the features a cryptocurrency trader might want or need. From the obvious feature of enabling trading across many different exchanges to pulling in real-time market data and analysis to portfolio tracking and tax reporting there are an entire box of tools available in the Atani app. Let’s have a closer look at them individually.
9,000 Crypto Pairs & 20+ Exchanges
With its connections to over 20 different cryptocurrency exchanges Atani supports trading more than 1,500 individual cryptocurrencies and over 9,000 different trading pairs. There’s simply no way to get access to more cryptocurrencies and trading pairs. You’ll find many of the most popular exchanges supported by the platform, including Binance, Huobi, Coinbase and many others.
That means if you already use one or more of these supported exchanges you will be able to trade on them all through the Atani terminal. No more switching from one website to another to complete all your trades. And Atani supports all the basic market order types you would need such as:
- Market orders
- Limit orders
- Stop loss orders
- Take profit orders
- One-cancels-the-other orders
Privacy and Security
The first thing you need to know about Atani is that they take security very seriously. This is why they decided to develop a desktop app rather than a web-based app. Developing Atani as a desktop app was far more expensive and time consuming, however it also gives traders a far more secure environment. It also means that Atani is a non-custodial platform that does not ever need access to users’ funds.
Because Atani is a non-custodial platform it means that your funds are never at risk, even if Atani itself is breached by hackers. In addition, the company uses military-grade AES-256 encryption to protect the APIs that are stored locally on your own PC. One nice thing regarding privacy is that Atani does not require any KYC paperwork, so there is no personally identifiable information held by Atani.
Customer Support
While it is hoped that customer support won’t be needed when trading through the Atani platform, if it is you can contact the knowledgeable support team via email at [email protected]. In addition there is an FAQ section on the website which answers most common questions, and an Atani Academy with a number of short videos that inform on how to use the Atani platform. There is also a small English Telegram community where you can get help.
Bottom Line
When you think about it there are really four primary characteristics that recommend using Atani for your own trading. Those are its security, its cost (free), its ease of use, and its extensive features. As you know from the review above the app takes both security and privacy very seriously. That means non-custodial holdings and no KYC requirements.
In terms of features the app is fully loaded, and you’ll not find a similar app with a better feature set. There aren’t many things that a trader would need that aren’t already included in Atani. From technical analysis to tax reporting, Atani has you covered.
