EDX Markets has commenced trading operations, and completed a fresh investment round.
Later this year, the platform plans to launch a clearinghouse to boost its market efficiency.
EDX
Markets, a new digital asset marketplace, has announced the successful
initiation of its trading operations, which is backed by a consortium of major financial
institutions. Among the mentioned companies are several Wall Street giants,
including Charles Schwab, Fidelity Investments, and Citadel Securities.
Additionally, the company
has completed a new funding round that brought additional strategic
investors on board. In a future plan to optimize the market, the platform aims
to introduce a new clearinghouse, EDX Clearing, later this year.
EDX Markets Starts
Operations Supported by Wall Street's Giants
The EDX
Markets platform began trading recently and claims it stands out from the
competition thanks to its liquidity, competitive quotes, and unique
non-custodial model. EDX Markets aims to lessen potential conflicts of
interest. EDX also brought a retail-only quote to the crypto markets, which
resulted in improved pricing for retail-originated orders.
The
platform supports the trading of the most popular digital assets, such as
Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Litecoin (LTC).
Jamil Nazarali, the CEO of EDX
"EDX's
ability to attract new investors and partners in the face of sector headwinds
demonstrates the strength of our platform and the demand for a safe and
compliant cryptocurrency market," Jamil Nazarali, the CEO of EDX,
commented.
"We
are committed to bringing the best of traditional finance to cryptocurrency
markets, with an infrastructure built by market experts to embed key
institutional best practices."
In line
with its launch, the platform closed a new funding round. This round introduced
new strategic investors like DV Crypto, GTS and Miami International Holdings.
These firms joined the original coalition of investors, including Wall Street
giants mentioned before, like Charles Schwab, Citadel Securities, Fidelity
Digital, Sequoia Capital and Virtu Financial.
The funds
acquired will aid in the platform's continued development and reinforcement of
its market leadership.
EDX Markets to Launch EDX
Clearing
A new
development is on the horizon for EDX Markets: the launch of EDX Clearing. This
clearinghouse will settle trades matched on EDX Markets, acting as a central
counterparty.
"Looking
ahead, EDX Clearing will be a major differentiator for EDX – and resolve an
unmet need in the market – by enhancing competition and creating unparalleled
operational efficiency through a single settlement process," Nazarali
added.
The
investment firm BlackRock has decided to venture into cryptocurrencies. Last
week, it proposed establishing its first Bitcoin ETF in the United States. This
new instrument will provide investors with secure and regulated access to the
BTC market if approved.
These moves
come at a time when there is increasing pressure from regulators on digital
asset companies in the United States. The Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) has filed lawsuits against the two largest exchanges in the country,
Coinbase and Binance. This has made the crypto landscape more challenging but
also illustrates the growing importance of digital assets in the financial
ecosystem.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
