EDXM International, a digital asset trading venue based in Singapore, has launched a perpetual futures exchange for institutional investors, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The platform allows clients to trade perpetual futures contracts across 44 crypto trading pairs, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP.

The trading venue utilizes the latest technology to minimize collateral requirements and enhance trade execution, leveraging the company’s proprietary matching engine for low-latency trading.

According to EDXM International, its pricing consistently outperforms that of incumbent crypto exchanges, with trading costs comparable to or lower than those of global Tier 1 exchanges.

The exchange also features Smart Collateral Management ( SCM ), a unique solution that allows liquidity providers to quote on multiple markets in a capital-efficient way without compromising risk exposure on the venue.

“We’re addressing long-standing barriers to institutional participation by reducing collateral requirements and offering deep, consistent liquidity,” says EDXM International managing director Kal Chan. “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 liquidity providers, prime brokerages and service providers, including Amber Group, CoinRoutes, DV Chain, Hidden Road Partners, LTP, and Virtu Financial.
