This collaboration empowers market participants to utilize TT’s advanced execution features within a fully regulated trading environment.” He added that as GFO-X expands its offerings, the synergy with TT will enhance liquidity and accessibility for digital asset derivatives.

Alun Green, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Futures and Options at TT, shared his enthusiasm about the partnership. “We are thrilled to enable access to GFO-X for our clients, especially amidst rising demand for centrally cleared cryptocurrency trading. The evolving U.S. regulatory landscape has sparked a heightened interest from institutional clients seeking to capitalize on digital assets.
