The crypto trading venue provides binding quotes in an anonymous order book with execution times of 25 microseconds.
GCEX will serve as a Prime Broker Sponsor, ensuring capital efficiency and reducing settlement risks through multilateral clearing and settlement.
Lars Holst’s GCEX announced today (Wednesday) its partnership with Switzerland-based spot crypto exchange RULEMATCH, which enhances ultra-low latency trading and integrated post-trade clearing and settlement with netting, offering crypto trading access for its institutional clients.
Bringing Crypto Trading to Institutions
The partnership is strategic, as it enables GCEX’s client base, including hedge funds, algorithmic trading firms, brokers, and ETF/ETP providers, to benefit from binding quotes in an anonymous Central-Limit Order Book (CLOB) with execution times of 25 microseconds, the announcement highlighted.
Lars Holst, CEO & Founder, GCEX
“We are continually looking to push boundaries and expand our offering,” said Holst, CEO of GCEX. “Our partnership with RULEMATCH presents a great opportunity for our clients... Their offering is impressive, and we share the same commitment to market integrity and professionalism.”
No Conflict of Interest
GCEX also stressed that RULEMATCH only acts as a market operator and provides clearing and settlement services for its clients. It does not operate as a market maker, broker, or counterparty in trading or settlement.
In addition, GCEX will act as a Prime Broker Sponsor, ensuring capital efficiency and minimizing settlement risks through multilateral clearing and settlement.
“Looking at the market today, it’s clear that many of the most active trading firms in the FX market are seeing significant opportunities in cryptocurrencies as well—which is understandable given the similarities in market structure,” said David Riegelnig, CEO of RULEMATCH.

“Our partnership with GCEX as a digital prime broker and sponsor means they now have access to RULEMATCH’s ultra-fast trading venue and can leverage its multilateral clearing and settlement capabilities,” he further explained. “This powerful combination allows them to apply many of the same strategies from FX markets to trading crypto assets, including stablecoins.”
Meanwhile, GCEX has been strengthening its other offerings. Recently, the company introduced two new price feeds for brokers using aggregation, designed to improve spreads and performance for FX and precious metal markets. Earlier this month, it also introduced a market data feed covering equity index CFDs, energy CFDs, commodity CFDs, crypto CFDs, spot FX, and bullion.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
