EDX was founded to address the structural inefficiencies that have hindered crypto markets from achieving true mainstream adoption — fragmented liquidity, high collateral costs, limited post-trade integration, lack of bankruptcy-remote setup and opaque incentives. We’ve focused from the start on building infrastructure that fosters trust, liquidity and efficiency for all institutional participants – from leading institutions to retail brokers.

Today, we’re proud to extend that mission globally with the launch of EDXM International’s perpetual futures venue, designed for unparalleled institutional performance and market integrity.

Perpetual Futures: A Natural Progression

Over the past three years, EDX’s U.S. platform has cleared more than $35 billion in notional volume and enabled access for leading institutions like Robinhood Crypto, Fidelity and Citadel.  With consistently low execution costs and a non-custodial model, we’ve demonstrated that institutional-grade infrastructure can lead to real interest and engagement among firms in the crypto market (and the people they serve). The launch of EDXM International’s perpetual futures platform builds on that momentum, bringing our proven approach to the market. 

Institutional demand for scalable, risk-conscious crypto infrastructure is accelerating. EDXM International meets this demand head-on, providing ultra-low-latency execution, capital-efficient features and clearing certainty for 44 trading pairs – including BTC, ETH, SOL and XRP – on a global scale.

Infrastructure That Works the Way Institutions Do

EDXM International will deliver deep, consistent liquidity, tighter spreads and superior execution costs — on par with or outperforming Tier 1 global venues.

Key features include:

• Ultra-low-latency matching engine technology designed for high-performance trading and execution
• Central clearing for reduced counterparty risk
• Smart Collateral Management (SCM): a first-of-its-kind feature that enables liquidity providers to quote across multiple pairs in the most capital-efficient way

The Smart Collateral Management solution is especially transformative, enabling market makers to quote more actively and efficiently without compromising risk exposure — supporting deeper liquidity across more markets with less capital tied up. By reducing collateral requirements and streamlining execution, the platform removes key barriers to scaling token pair support and empowers firms to more easily deploy sophisticated strategies. It’s a recipe for confidence, adoption and greater scale for all participants.

As with everything we do, this launch is supported by a robust partner ecosystem, including top-tier liquidity providers, prime brokers and OEMS platforms – LTP, Hidden Road Partners, DV Chain, Amber Group, CoinRoutes, Virtu Financial and more. These partners are already actively contributing, from platform liquidity and trade flow to feedback on our infrastructure. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for a more resilient, scalable institutional crypto market. 

What’s Next

This launch is just the beginning. As adoption grows, we’re focusing on scaling the EDXM International platform and unlocking new capital-efficient tools for our clients. That includes adding support for additional collateral types, continuing to expand the listed coins available, and enabling cross-margining across EDX to give institutions even more flexibility and capital efficiency. 

EDX is committed to building the digital asset infrastructure institutions need to trade with confidence, and we’re grateful to the partners and early adopters helping to shape this next chapter.
