EDX Markets has plugged into the Fireblocks Network Link, giving institutional clients a direct path to move assets and manage liquidity without rebuilding their existing operational workflows from scratch.
The integration, announced September 9, connects EDX’s trading venue and central clearinghouse directly to Fireblocks’ network, letting clients fund accounts, rebalance liquidity, and transfer digital assets all within the same operational stack they already use.
Why the plumbing matters
EDX CEO Tony Acuña-Rohter put it plainly, saying the firm aims to address the operational challenges faced by regulated firms as they expand into digital assets. The Fireblocks integration is meant to close that gap by letting clients treat digital asset transfers as a native extension of their current processes rather than a parallel operation requiring separate oversight.
EDX’s clearinghouse already offers single-net settlement for spot trading, which reduces the number of individual transactions a firm needs to execute to square its books. The Fireblocks integration layers transfer efficiency on top of that settlement architecture, meaning firms get a tighter end-to-end loop from order execution through to asset movement.
The infrastructure behind the integration
Fireblocks’ infrastructure secures over $16 trillion in digital asset transactions, making it one of the most widely deployed custody and transfer networks among institutional-grade operators. When EDX connects to the Fireblocks Network Link, it’s accessing a network that a large share of its potential client base likely already uses.
For EDX, the timing fits into a broader 2026 buildout. The firm closed a $76 million Series C funding round in July, adding capital to expand its institutional service offering. August brought additional partnership announcements before this Fireblocks integration landed in September.
EDX operates as an institutional-only venue, meaning retail traders don’t have access. That positioning keeps the regulatory profile simpler and the counterparty risk more predictable.
