Hex Trust Launches Integrated Digital Asset Electronic Trading Platform

Hong Kong, November 28, 2024 Hex Trust, a leading provider of digital asset custody, staking and markets services, has announced the launch of its advanced electronic trading platform. Clients can now execute multiple trade types from Hex Trust’s secure, air-gapped custody platform whilst accessing deep liquidity and efficient pricing from a global network of liquidity providers. Trades can be settled directly into cold storage meaning assets are never routed to exchanges or other third parties, minimizing critical counterparty risks that have notoriously been an issue in crypto. 

Direct from Cold Storage: Hex Trust's Institutional-Grade Electronic Trading Platform

The electronic trading services are seamlessly integrated within Hex Trust’s fully-licensed, bank-grade custody platform and support institutions from price discovery to execution and settlement. Clients can execute trades directly from within Hex Trust’s secure and regulated cold storage infrastructure. 

The comprehensive electronic trading platform is equipped with:

  • Institutional-Grade Security: Assets always remain securely in custody and benefit from robust security measures.
  • Direct Settlement with No Order Routing: Clients have the option of entering into trades without moving their assets to exchanges, brokers or decentralized protocols. Assets remain in cold storage and spot trades are settled intra-day.  
  • Deep Liquidity & Efficient Pricing:  Industry-leading liquidity providers with tight spreads, optimal pricing and trade execution. 
  • Full Trade Lifecycle: Advanced order types, live quotes, RFQ-based pricing and other features designed to meet the demands of professional traders and asset managers.
  • Comprehensive Digital Asset Coverage: Support for a diverse and growing list of asset pairs. Full market execution available via voice/chat if pairs are not listed on the electronic trading platform.
  • Flexible Trade Sizes: Ability to trade both small and large ticket sizes. 
  • Dedicated Account Management: Personalized 24/7 support from Hex Trust’s team to ensure smooth operations.

From Custody to Comprehensive Digital Asset Services

The launch of Hex Trust’s electronic trading capabilities aligns with its mission to provide a comprehensive suite of digital asset services - from custody and staking to markets and products. This milestone follows a series of strategic partnerships, license approvals, and product enhancements, solidifying Hex Trust’s position as the preferred partner for institutions.

“The collapse of FTX highlighted several critical risks in the digital asset industry, including a lack of transparency and asset segregation on centralized exchanges. Our digital asset electronic trading services allow clients to trade directly from cold storage - a unique feature which protects clients from such risks. This, together with deep liquidity, comprehensive asset coverage, advanced order types and analytics makes this a powerful proposition,” said  Alessio Quaglini, CEO and Co-founder, Hex Trust. “As a fully-licensed, custodian we have always had an intense focus on compliance, risk management, regulation, governance and security. These core principles form the foundation of our trading services, making Hex Trust’s electronic trading platform a robust, secure and efficient service for our institutional clients.”
