One Trading, a preeminent European digital-asset exchange, has announced the grand opening of its MiFID II-regulated perpetual futures trading platform, tailored for institutional investors. This pioneering move establishes One Trading as the sole provider of a MiFID II-regulated crypto perpetual futures trading venue within the EU and the first to proffer a fully regulated, cash-settled perpetual futures platform in Europe.
The platform by One Trading is a trailblazer in offering BTC/EUR and ETH/EUR perpetual futures trading pairs in the EU. By securing an OTF (Organised Trading Facility) licence from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), One Trading is poised to revolutionize the trading of derivatives and introduce crypto futures within the EU territory.
This platform stands alone as the first worldwide to provide real-time settlement of all derivative positions 24/7, boasting a sub-1-minute settlement time. Recognized as the swiftest trading venue globally, it can process over 1 million orders per second and has public execution latencies of less than 70 microseconds. This is achieved while maintaining seamless horizontal scalability without any performance compromise. As the solitary regulated exchange that merges derivatives product creation and trading without external clearing, One Trading is a game-changer in the financial market infrastructure by eliminating costly post-trade processes in favour of a more clear, safe, and robust structure.
One Trading ran a rigorous testing phase before the official launch, with several market participants now live on the platform to provide liquidity. The forthcoming weeks will see the expansion of One Trading’s platform to include eligible retail clients.
CEO Joshua Barraclough commented on the launch, stating: “The advent of our perpetual futures platform marks a significant achievement in our three-year journey. We have always aimed at simplifying trading by making markets accessible, transparent, and cost-effective. Today, we are realizing that vision by introducing a fully regulated, vertically integrated onshore exchange for perpetual futures. Customers will no longer have to shoulder heavy fees in margin to access leverage, trade CFDs or resort to trading on unregulated offshore venues.”
