EDX Markets Secures $76 Million Series C to Expand Institutional Crypto Infrastructure

1 articles · Updated · The TRADE News · Jul 27

Summary

  • $76 million in Series C funding will let EDX Markets expand its trading, clearing and settlement capabilities and grow product development and global operations.
  • SBI Holdings led the round, backing EDX's push to deliver the resilience, transparency and risk controls that institutional investors expect from traditional financial market infrastructure.
  • EDX already runs a spot trading venue and a central clearinghouse built for institutional clients and market makers, positioning the new capital to deepen existing services rather than launch a retail pivot.
  • The deal lands as SBI broadens its own digital-asset network after launching Japan's first trust bank-backed yen stablecoin, JPYSC, in June 2026, underscoring a wider bet on institutional adoption.
