The Netherlands-based digital asset exchange One Trading has received an Organized Trading Facility license from the Dutch Financial Markets Authority (AFM). With that license, the exchange will be able to introduce several new financial products to Europe, including onshore crypto futures trading.
In addition, One Trading will become the only perpetual futures trading platform in the European Union and the first cash-settled perpetuals platform in Europe, including the United Kingdom. One Trading will also be the first regulated European derivatives exchange open to retail clients.

Onshoring trading means bringing it under local regulation. One Trading CEO Joshua Barraclough <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240729953947/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> in a statement:
<blockquote>
 “The long-term vision of the company is to enable all customer types to go long or short on any asset, use any asset as collateral, settle everything instantly, and perpetually roll contracts.”
</blockquote>
“With this licence, we are well positioned to introduce new regulated products and offer institutional-grade solutions to all customer types starting with BTC and ETH products where no onshore EU regulated venue currently exists,” he continued.
Thanks to distributed ledger technology, One Trading implements derivatives trades around the clock in real-time without external clearing. It was also the first EU platform to enable the use of crypto assets as collateral for trading regulated financial instruments.
