LMAX Group, the leading cross-asset marketplace for FX and digital assets has launched its perpetual futures offering. 

Perpetual futures are a natural extension to the LMAX product portfolio given its proven track record in digital asset infrastructure, supported by transparent, institutional-grade liquidity and low-latency execution. Investors can now utilise greater leverage whilst still accessing LMAX renowned, robust liquidity and unique global distribution. 

LMAX has initially launched the two most dominant pairs, BTCUSD and ETHUSD, with more pairs to be added. All contracts are USD settled. Perpetual futures are entering a new phase of legitimacy and scale as regulatory clarity emerges, with trading volumes totalling $60 trillion last year.

Institutional demand for sophisticated, secure digital asset products continues to grow and there is a significant market opportunity in perpetual futures trading. LMAX’s perpetuals offering has been built on its trusted, regulated infrastructure, with precise execution and transparent price discovery. 

David Mercer, CEO, LMAX Group, said: “This launch enables our clients to confidently participate in digital asset derivatives and capitalise on crypto market momentum through the same trusted, regulated institutional trading infrastructure that handles over $40 billion average daily spot FX and digital assets flow. This product further diversifies our client offering and is another milestone as we build the leading global cross-asset marketplace.”

Jenna Wright, Managing Director, Digital Assets, LMAX Group, concluded: “Launching perpetual futures is a natural extension of our commitment to providing our clients with a comprehensive suite of digital asset trading solutions. The introduction of perpetuals reinforces our position as a trusted partner in the digital asset space, and we are excited about the opportunities that it brings for our clients.”
