ABEX has received authorisation from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to provide derivatives trading in futures, along with perpetual contracts and options, through its wholly owned subsidiary, ABEX UK Derivatives.
The firm says the authorisation is indicative of a significant milestone in its development, enabling it to extend its existing activities beyond spot trading and include derivatives under the established regulatory framework in the UK.
ABEX intends to offer professional counterparties access to its proprietary execution infrastructure across a range of trading instruments, operating in accordance with requirements set by the FCA.
CEO and co-founder of ABEX, Erkan Kaya, sees the FCA authorisation as “an important step in ABEX growth and underscores our commitment to operating within recognised regulatory standards”.
ABEX derivatives subsidiary will operate alongside its parent company’s existing FCA-registered crypto-asset business.
