ErisX’s intermediary-friendly vision was further realized today with the announcement that TradeStation Crypto’s retail customers can now access ErisX’s spot market liquidity for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ether, and Litecoin.

ErisX continues to bring crypto to the world of traditional investing and trading. The ErisX spot market is guided by regulatory best practices, proven in the futures markets, to protect investors from market abuse and manipulation, and to preserve market integrity.

“We welcome those that wish to come to our market and trade digital assets with or without an intermediary; however, we have always believed that digital assets should be part of an investor’s broader portfolio,” said Thomas Chippas, CEO of ErisX. “Making our safe, regulated, familiar market structure available through TradeStation expands the opportunities to trade digital assets to a wider audience that values surveilled, fair and professionally run market centers.”

“Our customers are increasingly interested in the digital asset space, and we are thrilled to be working with ErisX,” said John Bartleman, President of TradeStation Group. “ErisX and TradeStation have a similar vision of creating a marketplace comparable to the traditional commodity markets to provide a familiar place to invest in a new asset class.”
