Kemet Trading Partners with OKX to Offer Clients Access to Derivative Trading Infrastructure
Digital asset trading infrastructure provider Kemet now brings advanced derivatives trading technology to OKX institutional clients
December 12, 2024 — Kemet Trading, the industry’s leading digital asset derivatives trading platform for institutions, has partnered with OKX, a leading crypto exchange and global onchain technology company, to provide OKX’s institutional clients with access to Kemet’s derivative trading infrastructure. The collaboration provides OKX’s institutional clients with Kemet’s sophisticated position, risk, and portfolio management capabilities.
As institutional participation continues to drive market maturity, the integration provides essential infrastructure for complex trading strategies across futures, perpetuals and options markets.
Kemet’s turnkey, all-in-one technology platform supports the full trade lifecycle with high-performance execution and risk management capabilities through a full suite of APIs, enabling institutions to execute across the entire digital asset derivatives market from a single endpoint. The platform’s advanced algorithmic execution capabilities, including delta hedging, chase, vega MLO and TWAP, can now be utilized by institutions across OKX’s derivatives markets.
OKX Institutional, the exchange’s comprehensive suite of solutions for institutions and professional traders, processes over US$1 billion in daily options trading volume. The exchange offers portfolio margin mode that allows institutions to use any coin as collateral and offset positive delta on options to hedge futures/perpetuals positions. Through its risk offset mode, clients benefit from lower margins and efficient capital management. The platform also supports multiple off-exchange custodial solutions through partnerships with industry leaders such as Copper and Komainu.
Kemet’s Founder & CEO, Ash Ashmawy said: “We look forward to this partnership and are excited to support institutional participants along their trade lifecycle on OKX. Derivatives are notoriously tricky to get just right and we believe Kemet and OKX can provide an unmatched trading experience for institutions. Both firms share the conviction that digital assets represent the future of finance and are driven to keep our clients at the forefront of this evolution.”
OKX’s Global Chief Commercial Officer, Lennix Lai, said: “Our partnership with Kemet Trading marks a step towards making digital asset derivatives more accessible to institutions. With institutional market access expanding through regulated custody solutions and clearer regulatory frameworks, this integration delivers the professional-grade trading infrastructure the market needs.
Since launch less than a year ago, Kemet has processed over US$10 billion in trading volume through its proprietary algorithmic Order and Execution Management System (OEMS). The platform ensures best execution through market-wide connectivity and end-to-end digital asset orchestration and automation.
