CRYPTOCURRENCIES
Since the inception of the Bitcoin network in 2009, cryptocurrencies have grown from a once fledgling asset class to one which gained mainstream institutional recognition when the CME group launched the first Bitcoin futures contract in December 2017.
ED&F Man Capital Markets adopts a dynamic approach to cryptocurrency trading and futures, offering our clients access from the contract’s inception, rather than the “wait and see” approach of many of our peers. Our aim is to provide our clients with a world-beating, institutional-grade offering, allowing access to regulated cryptocurrency products listed on the CME and ICE Bakkt exchanges. As a result, we are now a global market leader in the field of crypto trading, offering a multi-dimensional service across a range of digital assets. Our expertise and network facilitates access to cryptocurrency trading instruments for clients including hedge funds, family offices, proprietary trading firms and Bitcoin miners. In addition, our experienced brokerage team provides access to execution and clearing services for Bitcoin exchange traded derivatives and Ethereum exchange traded derivatives.
We provide an institutional grade offering for regulated cryptocurrency products on the CME and ICE Bakkt (cryptocurrency futures and options). Unlike unregulated crypto exchanges, we offer an innovative, best-in-class segregated funds solution, giving clients’ assets protection, whilst also reducing counterparty risk. We facilitate physical settlement of ICE Bakkt BTC contracts and EFPs (exchange for physical) on the CME cash-settled BTC futures.
We also offer access to leading custodial solutions, which are facilitated by our strong and valued partners, to provide basis trading execution and capital efficiency opportunities. Our clients benefit from these competitive margining solutions. Clients can access both the central limit order book through our integrated vendors, or ‘off-screen’ liquidity for large, negotiated block trades through our network of specialist brokerage counterparties. High frequency and/or systematic clients can co-locate at the CME to achieve low latency execution. Our experienced global trade support, risk and operational teams provide coverage to all global time zones, for all pre and post trade queries.
