EDXM International's New Perpetual Futures Platform Goes Live
SINGAPORE, July 22, 2025 /CNW/ -- EDXM International today announced that its new perpetual futures exchange is now live. The exchange is purpose-built for institutional traders pursuing capital-efficient crypto strategies and deep liquidity. EDXM International clients can now trade perpetual futures contracts across 44 trading pairs, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP.
Backed by many of the world's leading financial institutions and venture capital firms, EDXM International equips institutional traders and other market participants with high-performance infrastructure designed to minimize collateral requirements. Its perpetual futures trading venue leverages the latest technology to improve trade execution using the company's in-house, proprietary matching engine to further low-latency digital assets trading. In addition to better trade execution, EDXM International's pricing consistently outperforms incumbent crypto exchanges, with the cost to trade better or on par with global Tier 1 exchanges.
EDXM International also features Smart Collateral Management ("SCM"), an innovative solution for liquidity providers to quote on multiple markets in the most capital-efficient way possible without compromising risk exposure on the venue. SCM is unique and EDX International is the first crypto venue to offer this kind of solution.
"This launch represents a major milestone in shaping a more efficient and accessible digital assets ecosystem for the industry," said Kal Chan, Managing Director, EDXM International. "We're addressing long-standing barriers to institutional participation by reducing collateral requirements and offering deep, consistent liquidity. There is significant pent-up demand for digital assets in the region, and our perpetual futures platform marks just the beginning of our commitment to building the robust market infrastructure that institutions need to trade with confidence."
The new venue is supported by an integrated network of top-tier liquidity providers, prime brokerage and OEMS partners, including Amber Group, CoinRoutes, DV Chain, Hidden Road Partners, LTP, and Virtu Financial. These institutional partners play a critical role in setting up a solid market foundation, contributing liquidity and supporting overall trading activity and platform efficiency.
"Virtu's focus has always been on providing transparent, deep liquidity across asset classes, and we're pleased to support EDXM International's new platform as it enhances institutional access to digital assets," said Brett Fairclough, co-president and co-chief operating officer at Virtu Financial. "EDXM International's innovative use of smart collateral management sets a new standard for capital efficiency in crypto."
"EDXM International's venue aligns with our mission to deliver integrated, full-service prime brokerage solutions for the digital asset ecosystem," said Jack Yang, Founder and CEO at LTP. "We're pleased to be among the first to go live, where we will enhance market activity and drive essential liquidity for institutional clients who demand transparent, secure, and sophisticated access to digital assets.
"With institutional demand for sophisticated, secure digital asset trading products continuing to grow, the launch of EDXM International's perpetual futures exchange represents an advancement in market infrastructure," said Michael Higgins, International CEO and Global Head of Corporate Development for Hidden Road. "Our modern prime brokerage platform is purpose-built to provide market participants with the tools and support required for efficient, institutional-grade access to digital assets, and we look forward to servicing EDXM International and Hidden Road's joint clients as they engage with the venue."

"We're proud to support this next phase and remain committed to advancing liquidity, accessibility, and institutional-grade infrastructure in digital assets."
