GFO-X is the UK's first regulated and centrally cleared trading venue dedicated to digital asset derivatives.

GFO-X is authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and has partnered with LCH SA which will offer clearing of Bitcoin index futures and options contracts traded on GFO-X. This will be made available through a new segregated clearing service, LCH DigitalAssetClear.

GFO-X services the significant unmet need of large global institutional participants who require the certainty of a safe, regulated trading venue where large financial institutions can trade digital asset derivatives at scale while protecting their client's assets. A 'regulation first' approach has already enabled GFO-X to achieve trust and credibility with the largest institutions.

The FCA-regulated venue will bring additional depth, breadth, and diversification to market participants' limited choices when accessing centrally cleared digital asset derivatives in a growing market.
