LCH SA, a French-registered subsidiary of the London Clearing House Group, has launched the DigitalAssetClear service that will provide market participants with access to the clearing of digital asset derivatives traded on GFO-X.
Marcus Robinson, head of DigitalAssetClear and CDSClear at LCH, comments: “The regulated clearing infrastructure within LSEG’s post-trade ecosystem has allowed us to build something meaningful for our participants and address the availability of options for a rapidly growing asset class.
“It is essential that we find ways to offer regulated, segregated, and trusted routes to provide customers with a diverse breadth of services, and we are excited to continue working with GFO-X to offer a regulated marketplace for this asset class.”
Built for institutional investors, GFO-X is the UK’s first centrally cleared multilateral trading facility dedicated to digital asset futures and options, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Arnab Sen, CEO and co-founder of GFO-X, adds: “We believe the digital asset derivatives market, in particular options, will grow exponentially, but requires regulated and counterparty risk mitigation solutions to achieve scale.
“By integrating LCH DigitalAssetClear, our UK-regulated venue brings much-needed enhanced risk mitigation to digital asset derivatives."
