Our take

D2X is Europe’s first regulated derivatives exchange for the digital asset industry. This is no mean feat in a tightly regulated market. Binance dropped its EU version of this back in 2021 due to regulatory pressures, with around a dozen countries (including the US and the UK) warning of the need to get stricter authorisation to be permitted to operate.

To try and dodge Coinbase’s fate, D2X will be listing cash-settled derivatives denominated in Euros, which makes it less operationally risky and more regulation-compliant. Assisting D2X in this regard will also be its partnership with surveillance, risk & anti-money laundering technology provider, Scila.

We’ve reached a point where derivatives regularly account for the majority of trades in the crypto market. The problem is, they’re mostly traded on offshore and unregulated platforms like Binance, and tempting users off these platforms is no easy task. CME Group in the US, for example, is the only regulated marketplace to have gained any real traction - and its trading volume is dwarfed by Binance.

D2X proposes an ambitious and groundbreaking project, however, and it could truly revolutionise the European crypto trading scene. It is aided by 2024 funding that will help it establish its European foothold, whilst approval from the Netherlands that same year will allow it to trade out of Amsterdam, establishing it as the first 7-day-a-week crypto trading platform within Europe.
