Talos Integrates with D2X, Expanding Institutional Access to Regulated Crypto Derivatives

AMSTERDAM, August 8, 2024 – D2X, an EU-regulated crypto derivatives exchange for institutional investors, today announced its integration with Talos, the premier provider of institutional trading technology for digital assets. This integration will allow mutual clients to access a new regulated source of crypto derivatives liquidity through the Talos platform.

This collaboration brings together Talos’s high-performance digital asset trading technology with D2X’s market infrastructure. As a result of this integration, clients will be able to trade BTC and ETH futures contracts on the D2X exchange through the Talos trading platform, benefiting from D2X’s regulated trading environment.

“We are excited to partner with Talos, a key integration to simplify onboarding on D2X for our future clients, and to ensure an even smoother trading experience," said Theodore Rozencwajg, Chief Commercial Officer & Co-Founder at D2X. “This collaboration broadens our market presence and provides institutions with better access to a regulated and reliable trading venue for crypto derivatives.”

As MiCA comes into force in the EU, access to regulated trading venues is increasingly important for institutions. D2X, headquartered in Amsterdam, is regulated as an investment firm under MiFID II and is supervised by the AFM in the Netherlands. Designed to address the needs of institutional investors, D2X is the first regulated derivatives exchange in a leading European jurisdiction that operates 7 days a week. 

“D2X’s regulated platform aligns with our objective of providing institutional-grade trading solutions for our clients,” said Daniel Packham, VP and Head of Operations, EMEA. “The addition of D2X to the Talos network represents Talos’s ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive trading solutions and access to a wide range of digital asset markets. D2X’s derivatives exchange provides institutions with a regulated avenue for exposure to digital assets and risk management.”
