Zodia Custody, the institution-first digital assets platform with shareholders and investors including Standard Chartered, Northern Trust, SBI Holdings, National Australia Bank, and Emirates NBD, announced the launch of BitMEX on Interchange, Zodia Custody’s off-venue settlement network. The integration brings the centralised exchange onto Interchange as the latest trading venue available to Zodia Custody Limited (UK) clients.
The launch enables users to trade directly on BitMEX while their assets remain securely held in Zodia custody, combining seamless market access with robust security. Interchange uses collateral locking and asset mirroring to ensure that clients’ assets are reserved for trades and protected until settlement, reducing counterparty risk and supporting secure, high-volume institutional trading.
Wing Cheah, Head of Interchange Product at Zodia Custody said: “In successfully launching BitMEX on the Interchange network, our clients gain direct access to a leading derivatives exchange without compromising custody of their assets. This integration provides clients with greater flexibility, more trading options, and the peace of mind that their assets remain safely in cold storage until settlement.”
Mark Collins, Head of Custody for BitMEX commented, “Our partnership with Zodia Custody cements the position of BitMEX as a premier institutional-grade trading platform. By incorporating a dedicated custodian that bridges traditional finance and the crypto market, we hope to reinforce our commitment to providing the security, transparency, and compliance required to serve our global professional client base.”
Interchange is becoming the network of choice for established financial institutions and crypto-native firms seeking secure access to leading centralised exchanges and OTC liquidity. A pioneer in crypto derivatives and inventor of the perpetual swap, BitMEX is now live on Interchange, providing Zodia Custody Limited (UK)’s clients with direct access to its trading platform, while their assets remain protected under custody, strengthening the network’s institutional liquidity ecosystem.
Interchange is supported by Zodia Custody Limited (UK) and available to eligible institutional/professional clients in select jurisdictions.
