EDX Markets, a Wall Street-backed crypto exchange, has expanded its offerings by adding 17 new cryptocurrencies, including XRP, SOL, and Trump Coin, to attract institutional investors. This addition signifies a shift toward accommodating a growing demand for crypto within a more favorable regulatory environment in the U.S. The exchange operates on a non-custodial model using financial intermediaries for trades, enhancing its appeal to regulators and aligning with traditional stock exchange practices. EDX, backed by major firms like Fidelity and Citadel Securities, initially launched with a limited selection but has now broadened its offerings to include various tokens like AAVE, Bitcoin Cash, Chainlink, and others. CEO Tony Acuña-Rohter emphasized the exchange's readiness to absorb new market entrants following a period of regulatory uncertainty. Additionally, EDX plans a perpetual futures exchange out of Singapore, aimed at global markets, indicating its ambition to become a comprehensive trading platform for crypto assets, despite regulatory hurdles in the U.S.
