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.
