On Tuesday, EDX Markets announced a strategic partnership with StoneX Digital, a wholly owned subsidiary of StoneX Group, to enhance institutional access to digital asset markets through EDX’s trading infrastructure.

The digital asset technology firm, which combines an institutional-only trading venue with a central clearinghouse, said StoneX Digital has onboarded to its platform to support the continued expansion of its digital asset offering. 

Through the partnership, StoneX Digital is expected to use EDX’s trading venue and central clearinghouse model to deliver enhanced market structure, operational efficiencies and access to liquidity for its clients.

“StoneX is a highly respected global financial services firm with deep relationships across traditional markets, and their onboarding to EDX underscores the growing demand for institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure,” commented Tony Acuña-Rohter, chief executive of EDX Markets.

EDX separates trading from custody, which it said reduces counterparty risk and enables capital-efficient trading. The company said that by integrating with the venue, StoneX Digital can offer clients a scalable pathway to access digital asset markets.

“We’re pleased to partner with EDX Markets as we continue to expand our digital asset capabilities,” said Eric Rose, global head of StoneX Digital. “EDX’s differentiated market structure and focus on operational efficiency align with our commitment to providing secure, transparent and high-performance access to our clients.”
