Within a complex market structure characterized by fragmented liquidity pools, crypto derivatives trading has hit records. In December 2020, an all-time high of $1.43 trillion of crypto-based derivatives products traded globally, partly due to growing institutional participation in the market.

“Challenges in the growing crypto derivatives space equate to trading opportunities for those who can remain nimble and adapt to constantly shifting conditions and volatility,” said Enigma Securities CEO Wilfred Daye. “The need for more advanced products and solutions to help facilitate growth and take advantage of those opportunities is increasing. By partnering with Mercury and leveraging its preexisting infrastructure and connectivities, we are well-positioned to serve our clients.”
