About Dasset
Founded in Auckland, Dasset was developed to bring a more comprehensive trading experience to New Zealand crypto investors — providing order book trading, advanced price charts, and NZD fiat access in a single FMA-registered platform. Dasset competes in the New Zealand market by offering the active trading functionality that retailer-model platforms like Easy Crypto do not provide, targeting more experienced New Zealand investors.
