EDX Markets (EDX) has recently launched its digital asset marketplace, offering industry leaders a more mainstream alternative to platforms such as FTX and Binance, which have faced regulatory and financial troubles. Backed by major Wall Street firms including Citadel Investments, Fidelity Investments, and Charles Schwab, the EDX marketplace aims to provide a trusted and regulatorily-compliant trading experience. The exchange began executing trades in the past few weeks.

EDX is looking to set itself apart from other crypto exchanges through its non-custodial model. By doing so, EDX avoids directly handling customers’ digital assets, mitigating conflicts of interest, and reducing the risk of asset loss or misuse. Instead, the platform serves as a marketplace where participants can agree on prices, and the actual transfer of cryptocurrencies and cash occurs between the involved firms. This model mirrors the traditional stock market, where investors submit their orders through brokerages rather than accessing the exchange directly.

One of EDX’s key upcoming developments is the launch of EDX Clearing, a clearinghouse designed to facilitate trade settlement. But what’s different is that customers aren’t required to have money sitting on the EDX exchange.

Overall, EDX’s conservative approach to listing cryptocurrencies, focusing solely on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash, is a strategic move to avoid potential conflicts with regulatory bodies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Those currencies have not been labeled securities, as opposed to other cryptocurrencies.

As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, EDX’s emergence marks a significant development in the industry. Its success in attracting backing from major financial institutions, its non-custodial model, and its focus on regulatory compliance all contribute to trading environment that is perceived by some to be safer. It could also to lead to broader adoption of cryptocurrencies by the public. Consumers may be more inclined to trade cryptocurrencies when they are on an exchange supported by their bank.
