About D2X
D2X, an Amsterdam-based regulated crypto derivatives exchange, has advanced its institutional offering over the past six months. The company secured €4.3 million ($5 million) in strategic funding from investors including CMT Digital, Circle Ventures, Tioga Capital, and Point72 Ventures. This capital is being used to expand its MiFID II-compliant platform, which operates under an MTF license granted by the Dutch Authority for Financial Markets (AFM) and is supervised by AFM and DNB. D2X has launched USD-denominated bitcoin and ether futures, with options expected soon. Its unique post-trade model, where collateral is held off-exchange with banking partners, addresses institutional concerns about counterparty risk and enables 7-day-a-week trading. The company's stated mission is to drive institutional adoption of digital assets by building best-in-class market infrastructure, with a long-term vision to pioneer next-generation financial markets across multiple asset classes.
