Marex, a diversified global financial services platform, and GFO-X, an FCA-regulated and centrally cleared digital asset derivatives trading venue, today announced their partnership to meet growing institutional demand for secure, regulated access to digital asset derivatives.

As part of this partnership, Marex has committed to joining GFO-X as a Participant and will also join LCH SA’s DigitalAssetClear service as a Clearing Member, subject to the completion of LCH onboarding processes.

Marex is targeting a go-live date in mid-September 2025.

Through this integration, Marex clients will gain access to Bitcoin index futures and options traded on GFO-X and centrally cleared via LCH DigitalAssetClear, ensuring robust risk management, collateral optimisation, and counterparty protection aligned with global financial standards.

Marex’s strategic partnership with GFO-X, focused on both existing and future opportunities in the digital asset derivatives space, reflects the growing institutional demand for a secure and regulated digital asset infrastructure.

Arnab Sen, CEO and Co-Founder, GFO-X, commented:

“We are delighted to welcome Marex to the GFO-X ecosystem. Their deep expertise in derivatives and strong global client base make them a tremendous partner in our mission to deliver institutional-grade digital asset market access.
