One Trading, a regulated European crypto-asset exchange and the EU’s first permanent futures trading venue, has announced a partnership with Solidus Labs, which provides crypto-native compliance and security solutions. Through this partnership, One Trading said it is further strengthening its operations to meet evolving regulatory standards, strengthening protections against market abuse and supporting its readiness for the EU Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (MiCAR).
One Trading launches a regulated OTF (Organized Trading Facility) for perpetual futures contracts in the EU, licensed by the Dutch Authority for Financial Markets (AFM). It is the only regulated derivatives venue in the EU accessible to eligible retail clients, offering unrivaled terms to both its institutional and retail users. Leveraging the technology that positioned One Trading as the world’s fastest trading venue in early 2024, the company is now pioneering a new standard as the world’s first to offer real-time settlement (<1 minute at price level) for all derivative positions, accessible 24/7 in all markets.
To further support the high level of service, the integration of Solidus Labs’ state-of-the-art surveillance technology will enable One Trading to proactively monitor and mitigate the risks of market abuse across its entire platform, ensuring a secure trading environment for its diverse client base .
Sam Azad, Head of Compliance at One Trading said,
“At One Trading, we are committed to reshaping the way regulated financial instruments are traded in the digital age, with a focus on innovation, transparency and enhanced protection for both eligible retail and institutional European clients. The integration of Solidus Labs technology enhances our ability to proactively detect and mitigate market abuse, reinforcing our commitment to market integrity and regulatory excellence.”
Asaf Meir, CEO and founder of Solidus Labs said,
“One Trading’s unique model is set to redefine the EU trading landscape with a pioneering approach to financial instruments. Its unrivaled innovation, technology-driven solutions and commitment to the highest regulatory standards align perfectly with Solidus Labs’ mission to foster a secure and controlled digital asset ecosystem. Our cutting-edge surveillance technology accurately detects market abuse in real-time across multiple venues and products. By leveraging this capability, One Trading can proactively manage risk and secure its platform to meet and exceed evolving regulatory standards such as MiCA, setting a new benchmark for compliant and secure cryptocurrency trading in Europe.”
As the MiCA regulation puts new market abuse requirements into effect until December 30, 2024, Solidus Labs is actively supporting major players active in cryptoasset markets across Europe to prepare for MiCAR compliance. Through the MiCA Masters Resource Center, which provides specialist resources, guidance and knowledge shaped by discussions with leading EU regulators, Solidus Labs helps VASPs and investment firms develop strong compliance frameworks and ensure trade oversight readiness to meet the upcoming demands.
