GCEX Group, a regulated digital prime brokerage, has expanded its tokenised product suite with the addition of WTI Crude (WTI/USD), giving institutional and professional clients on-chain exposure to West Texas Intermediate crude oil.
The product joins the platform without requiring physical delivery, exchange membership, or the roll mechanics associated with CME futures positions. It carries a margin requirement of 20%, reflecting the volatility profile of the underlying asset.
The launch follows client demand for GCEX's tokenised precious metals offering, which was introduced in March 2026 with Pax Gold (PAXG/USD) and Tether Gold (XAUT/USD).
WTI/USD is available within the same multi-asset environment that GCEX clients already use for spot digital assets, FX and CFD execution, without requiring a separate account or additional onboarding. The product is subject to product, entity and jurisdictional availability.

Lars Holst, Chief Executive Officer, GCEX Group, said:
"Tokenised oil is a natural next step for GCEX as we continue to broaden our institutional multi-asset offering. Our tokenised oil product gives clients a more efficient way to access WTI exposure within the same regulated environment they already use for digital assets, FX and CFDs. For clients trading across Asia and the Middle East, the ability to access tokenised instruments 24/7 is a major advantage. It enables them to respond to market movements outside traditional CME trading hours, including at weekends, without having to rely on more complex or costly hedging structures. It is also especially relevant for our growing GCC client base, where oil exposure is a strategic consideration for many institutions. Through the expansion of our tokenised offering, we are giving clients broader market access, greater operational efficiency and more choice within a single regulated trading environment."
GCEX Group also provides institutional and professional clients with access to external liquidity for gold-backed tokens, alongside spot trading and conversion of digital assets. The group offers a range of forex brokerage and crypto-native technology solutions under its XplorDigital suite, which includes its XplorDigital App, and plug-and-play solutions branded as Crypto in a Box and Broker in a Box.
