Dedicated to meet the unique liquidity requirements of institutions in the cryptocurrency markets, Crossover Markets launched CROSSx, an execution-only cryptocurrency Electronic Communication Network (ECN). Crossover’s crypto ECN has grown in reputation for its matching engine and advanced order logic. Since its launch in early 2023, Crossover has onboarded several leading brokerage firms, including Exness, Pepperstone, TMGM, GCEX, Ouinex, Hidden Road, and Tradu.
Crossover Markets recently joined forces with Cboe Digital to offer a U.S.-regulated clearing solution for trades across multiple digital asset execution platforms. Crossover’s CROSSx became the first external technology venue to provide connectivity to Cboe Digital.
To complement this relationship with a US-based clearing broker, Crossover expanded its data center footprint to Equinix’s NY4, adding to its existing presence in Equinix’s LD4 for international counterparties.
