Institutional Perpetual Futures Trading

Perpetual Futures Across Every Major Asset Class

Funded in fiat or stablecoins. SPCX, NVDA, SKHY, SNDK, MSTR, AAPLL and more available, plus pre-IPO.

Trade equities, indices, metals, energy, interest rates, FX, pre-IPO and crypto perpetuals on a single institutional venue. Fund in US dollars and other major currencies, or in stablecoin if you prefer — no wallet infrastructure, and no requirement to hold or convert crypto to trade. Every trade faces our central clearinghouse, nets into a single daily settlement and sits in a bankruptcy-remote account.

Trade Digital-Asset-Native Markets Without Touching a Digital Asset

Perpetual futures were built in crypto, and almost every venue still makes you live there: buy a stablecoin, hold it, custody it, reconcile it, explain it to your auditors.

EDX Derivatives removes that step. Wire US dollars from your existing bank account, trade the full contract set and withdraw dollars back — or post stablecoin instead. Either way, it is your choice, not a prerequisite.

Fund in Fiat

Deposit and withdraw US dollars and other major currencies through conventional banking rails. No exchange account elsewhere, no wallet infrastructure, no on-ramp dependency. Stablecoin is also accepted.

Stay Off-Balance-Sheet

No digital assets to custody, insure, reconcile or disclose unless you choose to hold them. Mandates that prohibit holding crypto can still trade crypto-linked risk.

One Settlement, One Reconciliation

Positions across every asset class net into a single daily cash settlement in your funding currency — one line for your operations team, not a wallet-by-wallet reconciliation.

Perpetual Futures on the Markets Institutions Actually Trade

No expiry, no rollover, no quarterly roll cost. A funding mechanism holds each contract to its underlying, while one cross-margined collateral pool supports every position you hold. Our contract set is continually expanding.

Institutions Only — By Design, Without Exception

EDX was founded by firms that set the standard in global markets — Citadel Securities, Fidelity Digital Assets, Charles Schwab, Virtu Financial and others — to bring conventional market structure to digital asset derivatives. We onboard institutions and only institutions. We take no retail deposits and run no retail app. Every counterparty on our book is held to the same standard.

Institutional Only

No retail onboarding, no retail deposits. Bankruptcy-remote client accounts and conventional market structure controls rather than crypto-native improvisation.

Unconflicted

EDX operates no retail platform and does not compete with its clients for retail flow. Your customers stay yours — we have no consumer brand for them to migrate to.

Less Capital at the Exchange. Less Credit Risk on the Trade.

Our central clearinghouse and single net settlement process mean you post less to trade and never face another participant directly. Pre- and post-trade controls run continuously, and client assets sit in bankruptcy-remote accounts.
