Leading cryptocurrency derivatives exchange Deribit partners with Kemet Trading to improve trading infrastructure for institutional clients
Kemet Trading, a leading provider of digital asset derivatives trading infrastructure, and Deribit, the world’s largest crypto options exchange, today announced the beginning of a strategic partnership and integration. This strategic partnership aims to improve the framework through which institutional market participants interact with crypto derivatives. The integration will enable Kemet’s clients to access Deribit’s deep liquidity by way of its streamlined platform.
With the digital asset derivatives landscape poised for massive growth over the coming years, there is a need for infrastructure that supports and enhances the workflows of top investors. Kemet’s framework allows digital asset trading firms to access liquidity, evaluate opportunities, and manage risk across non-fungible derivatives contracts on CeFi and DeFi venues via a single access point. Kemet also provides best-execution algorithms for delta hedging, multi-leg orders, and more. Developed by a team of engineers from top firms in traditional finance, including D.E. Shaw, CBOE, Jump, and DRW, Kemet’s goal is to bridge the gap between the robust OEMS systems that exist in traditional markets, and those in digital asset markets.
This integration allows existing clients of Deribit to utilize Kemet’s infrastructure to more effectively access, evaluate, and manage risk on the exchange. Current users of Kemet’s platform can link their exchange accounts and begin leveraging its OEMS capabilities on Deribit within seconds. Institutions currently trading on Deribit can learn more about utilizing Kemet’s capabilities by emailing sales@kemettrading.com or by visiting the website at https://www.kemettrading.com.
Ash Ashmawy, founder and CEO of Kemet, commented, “Our goal at Kemet is to simplify the digital asset derivatives landscape. Across venues, trading firms currently deal with issues arising from connectivity, contract non-fungibility, and risk management, among many others. The leadership at Deribit understands these issues well and we at Kemet are eager to partner with them to improve the workflows of all of our clients and to participate in each other’s future growth.”
Luuk Strijers, Chief Commercial Officer at Deribit, concluded, “Deribit is proud to partner with Kemet and continue to provide best in class service to our clients. The Kemet team has lots of experience in building trading infrastructure solutions and integration of the Kemet framework into the Deribit exchange will provide clients with additional flexibility and a superior trading experience. We look forward to exploring additional opportunities with Kemet to improve the trading landscape.”
