Paradigm Integrates Deribit’s Services to Ease Block Trading

Over-the-counter (OTC) communication platform Paradigm on Thursday announced that it has integrated crypto derivative trading services of Deribit on its platform.

With this, institutional clients of Paradigm can negotiate on the prices and can directly execute trades on Deribit.

Paradigm offers communication services to institutional clients and automates price negotiation and settlement workflows for OTC digital asset trades. The platform is backed by prominent venture capitals including XBTO Ventures, Vectr Fintech Partners, and Monex Group.

Though the platform has a presence all around the world, it restricted its services in the United States, Iran, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Iraq, Cuba, Venezuela, Crimea, and Quebec province in Canada due to regulatory restrictions.

“For the first time, institutions that trade crypto derivatives in large volumes can negotiate privately on the Paradigm platform, after which the trade will be automatically executed, margined and cleared at Deribit and displayed on the public tape as a block trade, eliminating any execution risk associated with the order book,” Philippe Bekhazi, chief executive of XBTO Group said.

Earlier this year, Deribit’s services were integrated on Caspian, an institution-focused digital asset trading and portfolio management platform.
