One Trading Becomes First Exchange to Win OTF License in Europe
On July 29, the exchange announced that the Dutch Financial Market Authority (FMA) granted it an OTF license after it adhered to the laws of the Dutch Central Bank.
The approved license features One Trading as the only platform compliant with the standards set by Market in Financial Instrument Directive II (MiFID ll). The exchange becomes the only venue for future trading in the European Union since it is the first OTF license granted in the last three years.
Similarly, crypto users can now enjoy derivative trading of cryone pto assets like BTC and Ether under EU laws. Traders will also have access to several other services. It includes asset custody, product creation, and real-time settlements in crypto, which the company aims to introduce soon.
The Founder and CEO of the One Trading, Joshua Barraclough, stated:
We are thrilled to have achieved this milestone, which represents the culmination of years of hard work and innovation. The long-term vision of the company is to enable all customer types to go long or short on any asset, use any asset as collateral, settle everything instantly, and perpetually roll contracts.
He added that the team worked effortlessly to develop a platform utterly compliant with the regulatory standards set by legal authorities. With this approval, the exchange can now offer regulated institutional-grade solutions to its customers. Joshua continued that it’s just an initial step in redefining the digital asset industry and modifying traditional security trading.
Advanced Derivatives Trading Service
Furthermore, the exchange plans to implement real-time settlements of derivative positions via Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). This feature enables settlement of the position in an interval of less than one second across all trading pairs.
