European digital-asset exchange One Trading has launched its regulated perpetual futures trading venue for institutional investors, making it the only MiFID II-regulated crypto perpetual futures trading venue in the EU and the first fully regulated, cash-settled perpetual futures platform in Europe.
One Trading’s platform is the first to offer BTC/EUR and ETH/EUR perpetual futures trading pairs in the EU. Holding an OTF (Organised Trading Facility) licence from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) enables One Trading to revolutionize the trading of derivatives and bring crypto futures onshore in the EU.
The platform is the first globally to offer real-time settlement of all derivative positions 24/7, with a sub-1-minute settlement time. As the fastest trading venue in the world, it processes over one million orders per second and has public execution latencies of less than 70 microseconds, while maintaining seamless horizontal scalability without performance degradation. As the only regulated exchange that integrates derivatives product creation and trading without the need for external clearing, One Trading challenges existing financial market infrastructure as the first to eliminate costly post-trade processes in favour of a clear, safe, and robust structure.
Prior to the launch, One Trading conducted an extensive testing phase. Now, a number of market participants are live on the platform providing liquidity.
In the coming weeks One Trading will announce the expansion of its platform to eligible retail clients too.
