From inception, EDX has focused on building the next-generation digital asset exchange, combining the team’s deep experience in both traditional markets and digital assets. We are known for our robust, institutional-grade crypto platform with the controls, performance and risk management that firms expect from traditional markets.
Now, with the launch of EDX FlowConnect™, we’re extending that infrastructure beyond our own venue and making it available as a configurable crypto-as-a-service (CaaS) offering. FlowConnect™ enables firms to launch a full suite of crypto products faster, without the cost or operational burden of building and running their own end-to-end stack.
Importantly, FlowConnect™ is not just a trading solution. It is designed to support the full lifecycle of digital asset services – from execution to clearing and settlement.
What FlowConnect™ Enables
The offering enables firms to bring a full suite of crypto products to market without the cost or complexity of building and operating their own infrastructure. Clients can choose from our out-of-the-box turnkey solution or a “bring-your-own-provider” approach – making it the market’s only fully flexible CaaS product. Additionally, by operating exclusively as an institutional-only trading venue, EDX serves as an unconflicted partner for retail firms.
FlowConnect™ allows firms to power a range of crypto products using EDX’s existing infrastructure, including:
- Spot trading
- Perpetual futures
- Stablecoin on-ramp and off-ramps
- Clearing and settlement
- Risk management and limits
These services can be deployed individually or combined into a broader offering, depending on a firm’s business model and regulatory footprint.
In addition to its broad capabilities, FlowConnect™ is intentionally flexible. Clients can define how the platform operates within their own commercial and risk frameworks, including:
- Supported assets and trading pairs
- Margin, leverage and liquidation parameters
- Fee structures and monetization models
- White-label branding and client sub-account management
Firms can launch quickly, then evolve their offering over time as demand, regulation or strategy changes.
Built on Institutional Market Structure
FlowConnect™ is built on the same proprietary matching engine and market structure that underpins EDX Markets.
Key characteristics include:
- Microsecond-level performance, proven in production
- Deep, aggregated liquidity from leading TradFi and crypto-native market makers
- Flexible connectivity options, including via cloud-based or traditional data centers
- Tailored liquidity for retail brokers to enhance market quality
This approach reflects EDX’s core principle: infrastructure providers should focus on market quality, not capturing end-user flow.
In addition, FlowConnect™ incorporates the same risk and control framework used across EDX’s institutional marketplace. These features are designed to support firms operating under institutional risk, compliance and governance expectations:
- Comprehensive collateral and risk management infrastructure
- Advanced market surveillance and a standardized rulebook
- Pre-trade controls, including max order size, duplicate order checks, price banding and cancel-on-disconnect
- Automated post-trade risk processes, including configurable margin calls, liquidations and auto-deleveraging
- Bankruptcy-remote collateral and settlement accounts with full sub-account segregation
Bringing Crypto to Market, the Institutional Way
Institutions are demanding crypto infrastructure that reflects the standards of traditional financial markets. FlowConnect™ is designed to meet that demand by making proven market structure available as a service.
If you’re looking to launch or expand digital asset offerings without rebuilding the stack from scratch, FlowConnect™ is designed to help you get there faster – and operate with confidence. To learn more, reach out today.
