In June 2023, <a href="https://financefeeds.com/edx-markets-goes-live-with-non-custodial-crypto-exchange-owned-by-biggest-names/">EDX opened trading as a crypto marketplace</a> of choice for industry leaders, building on best practices from traditional finance to provide customers with distinctive benefits including liquidity, competitive quotes, and a non-custodial model designed to mitigate conflicts of interest. 
EDX also introduced a retail-only quote to the crypto markets, allowing participants the benefit of better pricing for retail-originated orders. Products traded on EDX include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). 
EDX Markets is owned by some of the biggest industry names – such as Charles Schwab, Citadel Securities, Fidelity Digital AssetsSM, Paradigm, Sequoia Capital, and Virtu Financial. 
<h2 id="edx-clearing-reduces-the-capital-needed-for-trading">EDX Clearing reduces the capital needed for trading</h2> 
Trades on EDX's market are settled through EDX Clearing, or EDXC, in a single net settlement process, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the capital needed for trading. This setup considerably lessens credit risk for members by serving as a central counterparty. 
Since October 2023, the clearinghouse processed over $3.1 billion in transactions, demonstrating significant value to its members. The new clearinghouse aligns with EDX's strategic vision of becoming a transparent, trusted, and efficient digital asset market. 
Jamil Nazarali, CEO of EDX, said: “EDX Clearing is a major differentiator for EDX as it streamlines settlement while reducing counterparty risk and capital requirements for our members. Clearing has already delivered significant value to our members who have traded $3.1 billion in notional since its launch. We expect the impact to increase moving forward, positioning us to capitalize on this new wave of institutional growth accelerated by the recent approval of spot BTC ETFs in the U.S. 
"Further, Pantera’s investment in EDX demonstrates the success of our model and ability to attract quality investors to EDX. We are thrilled to have Pantera back EDX on our mission to be the most competitive, transparent, trusted, and efficient digital asset market.” 
Paul Veradittakit, managing partner at Pantera Capital, added: "Institutional crypto investors care more than ever about counterparty risk management. Globally we're seeing institutions gravitate towards non-custodial marketplaces. With its capitally efficient product, best in class risk management, and backing from global financial heavyweights, EDX is primed to usher in a new era of institutional crypto trading. There is no better team to serve institutional clients, so we know the future of institutional crypto trading is in great hands with Jamil and his team at EDX.”
