EDX Markets, provider of an institutional-only trading venue and a central clearinghouse, has launched FlowConnect™, a crypto-as-a-service (CaaS) platform aimed at helping firms bring digital asset trading products to market more quickly and securely.
The offering provides access to trading, clearing, settlement and liquidity without requiring firms to build their own infrastructure.
FlowConnect™ supports spot and perpetual contracts, third-party clearing and stablecoin on-ramp/off-ramp workflows, offering both a turnkey solution and a “bring-your-own-provider” model. By operating exclusively as an institutional-only venue, EDX positions itself as a non-conflicted partner for firms targeting retail clients.
Built on EDX’s proprietary matching engine and clearing system, the platform delivers microsecond-level execution on aggregated liquidity sourced from both traditional finance and crypto-native market makers. Connectivity options include cloud-based or data center deployment, with support for multiple collateral types including crypto and stablecoins.
The platform also incorporates risk and compliance features commonly expected in traditional markets, such as pre-trade controls (max order size, duplicate order checks, price banding, cancel-on-disconnect), automated post-trade risk management, and segregated, bankruptcy-remote collateral accounts.
The platform is fully customisable, allowing clients to define trading pairs, leverage levels, margin rules and fee structures, as well as operate white-labeled exchanges with client sub-accounts. EDX will provide 24/7 onboarding and operational support to institutional users worldwide.
