HOBOKEN, N.J. – EDX Markets (EDX), a groundbreaking digital asset marketplace facilitating safe and compliant trading through trusted intermediaries, announced today the successful launch of its digital asset market. Additionally, the company has completed an investment round with new equity partners, further strengthening its position in the industry.
Backed by a consortium of prominent financial institutions, EDX has emerged as the preferred crypto marketplace for industry leaders. Leveraging best practices from traditional finance, EDX offers customers distinct advantages, including liquidity, competitive quotes, and a unique non-custodial model designed to mitigate conflicts of interest. Notably, EDX introduced a retail-only quote feature to the crypto markets, enabling participants to benefit from improved pricing for retail-originated orders. The platform supports trading of popular digital assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
Later this year, EDX will unveil EDX Clearing, a clearinghouse that will settle trades matched on the EDX Markets platform. This clearing process will enable trades against a central counterparty, enhancing price competition, reducing settlement risks, and improving operational efficiencies for participants.
The recent launch of EDX and the forthcoming EDX Clearing announcement coincide with the completion of a new funding round that welcomed strategic investors, including Miami International Holdings, DV Crypto, GTS, GSR Markets LTD, and HRT Technology. These firms join an esteemed group of founding investors, including Charles Schwab, Citadel Securities, Fidelity Digital AssetsSM, Paradigm, Sequoia Capital, and Virtu Financial.
