Summary
StoneX Digital has onboarded to EDX Markets, giving its clients access to EDX’s institution-only crypto trading venue and central clearinghouse.
EDX said the partnership is meant to widen institutional digital-asset access by combining StoneX’s client reach with EDX’s trading infrastructure, liquidity and clearing model.
The setup separates trading from custody, which EDX says reduces counterparty risk and improves capital efficiency and operational execution for sophisticated market participants.
StoneX Group, a Fortune 50 company with 5,400 employees, serves more than 80,000 commercial, institutional and payments clients plus over 260,000 retail accounts across 80 offices.

As institutions flock to custody-separated trading, does this traditional market plumbing fundamentally defeat the decentralized promise of digital assets?
Will the aggressive migration of institutional whales to exclusive platforms leave retail crypto exchanges starved for liquidity and facing wider spreads?
