EDX Markets Teams With Raven to Boost Institutional Crypto Liquidity
EDX Markets and Raven have formed a strategic partnership aimed at deepening liquidity for institutional digital asset trading.
EDX Markets, a Chicago-based digital asset technology firm operating an institutional-only trading venue alongside a central clearinghouse, announced a strategic partnership Wednesday with Raven, a proprietary high-frequency trading firm and liquidity provider, to strengthen institutional access to digital asset markets.
