At the same time, trueEX announced plans to launch a regulated derivatives marketplace for the crypto assets. Pending regulatory approval by the CFTC, the swap execution facility will initially list contracts for Bitcoin non-deliverable forwards (NDFs) settled in the US dollar.
trueEX’s affiliated brand, trueDigital Holdings, will provide product development, and act as the sales and marketing arm for the new products.

trueEX noted that over the last few years, the total market cap of cryptocurrencies has grown from less than $1 billion to $420 billion.

He added: “Institutional investors and commercial partners are ready for a regulated and liquid marketplace to gain exposure to and hedge these increasingly important digital currencies and commodities.”
