Eventus, a leading provider of comprehensive, at-scale trade surveillance and financial risk solutions, and EDX Markets, a leading digital asset technology firm that combines an institution-only trading venue with a central clearinghouse, today announced that EDX has deployed the Eventus Validus platform for trade surveillance on its marketplace.
Backed by a consortium of prominent Wall Street firms, EDX was founded in 2022 to facilitate secure and efficient institutional digital assets trading. EDX Markets went live in 2023, providing clients with access to better liquidity that minimizes risk through its marketplace and central clearinghouse. With EDX on board, nearly 20 digital asset venues across the globe now rely on Eventus for their trade surveillance.
EDX Markets CEO Tony Acuña-Rohter said: “We selected Eventus for this important technology due to the firm’s deep experience in digital assets. The Validus platform is widely accepted by regulators around the globe and was seamless to integrate into our marketplace thanks to its cloud deployment and flexible connectivity capabilities.”
Josh Hoffberg, EDX Head of Market Operations, said: “It’s extremely important that we get trade surveillance right. Eventus onboarded our engineers and integrated their trade surveillance capabilities onto our marketplace well ahead of the launch of our New Matching Engine. The Validus platform also provides us with a strong solution that is easy to use and has intuitive market visualization tools that provide us with a comprehensive view of overall activity. We look forward to leveraging the automation tools and extended surveillance capabilities Validus offers as we continue to scale and grow.”
Eventus CEO Travis Schwab said: “EDX has created an experience for institutional investors that mirrors what they have in traditional finance. Minimizing risk is a key part of that experience, and we’re pleased to equip EDX’s marketplace with our surveillance tools, further reinforcing the integrity of the platform.”
