Wintermute becomes a Eurex member, expanding its derivatives offering and presence in TradFi
3 OCT 2024 | NEWS
Wintermute Asia (Wintermute) is pleased to announce that we are now officially a member of Eurex Exchange, Europe’s leading derivatives marketplace. This membership reflects our commitment to contributing to a financial system where digital assets are integrated into established financial markets. By joining Eurex, we are broadening our reach in traditional finance and providing institutional investors access to a wide range of derivative products and liquidity solutions within a framework that aligns with their established trading practices. Through Eurex, institutions can now execute large blocks across multiple crypto products, including options and futures, while using a familiar setup. In addition to our existing offerings, Wintermute can now structure tailored products referencing the Eurex products, addressing specific execution needs and conditions.
Onboarding with such established venues is a rigorous process, requiring comprehensive due diligence, infrastructure alignment, and operational readiness. We are proud to be among the few crypto-native firms to have successfully navigated this process, reflecting our dedication to meeting the highest industry standards.
We’ve observed strong interest from traditional finance in gaining exposure to cryptocurrencies, but institutions require trusted, secure methods to access crypto that align with their existing frameworks. As a market leader in the digital asset ecosystem, we have the know-how and experience needed to make this transition smoother. By integrating our advanced trading capabilities with the robust infrastructure of Eurex, we are in a unique position to provide the kind of secure, reliable access that institutions are looking for.
Evgeny Gaevoy, CEO at Wintermute, commented: “Joining Eurex and executing our first options trade on their exchange comes at a critical time for European markets. With increased institutional interest in digital assets, Eurex provides the stability and oversight that institutions require, while Wintermute’s deep understanding of the digital asset ecosystem and advanced technology offers the secure access to crypto derivatives they need. This membership highlights the growing importance of established exchanges in digital markets, and we’re excited to partner with Eurex. It allows us to further support institutional investors as they seek reliable entry points into digital assets through familiar environments.”
This milestone also marks the continuous expansion of our derivatives offering, further solidifying our position as a one-stop shop for digital asset OTC trading. With an already established presence in other traditional finance venues, joining Eurex represents another significant step forward as we continue to expand our reach across traditional finance venues that support crypto. We look forward to working with the Eurex team and providing our counterparties with the most comprehensive offering in the market.
