Gold-i Integrates Derive.xyz Into MatrixNET In Second DeFi Move

Gold-i, an FX and crypto trading technology firm, has integrated Derive.xyz, the largest onchain options exchange by volume, into its MatrixNET multi-asset liquidity management and distribution platform.

The integration gives Gold-i's client base of brokers, proprietary trading firms and fund managers access to Derive.xyz's liquidity through a range of platforms including MT4, MT5, DXtrade and CLEO. Derive.xyz currently accounts for approximately 90% of onchain options volume.

The move marks Gold-i's second decentralised finance integration on MatrixNET, following its earlier integration with Hyperliquid, a decentralised exchange for perpetual futures and spot crypto trading. The integration also creates opportunities for Gold-i to expand into Derive.xyz's client base of treasuries and foundations.

Nick Forster, CEO, Derive.xyz

Nick Forster, CEO, Derive.xyz said:

"Being the first options protocol integrated into MatrixNET is a meaningful milestone; it signals that institutional infrastructure is taking onchain derivatives seriously. More importantly, it opens a door that wasn't there before. Institutional users of MatrixNET can now access Derive's onchain options liquidity directly, without friction. TradFi and onchain are converging, and this integration is exactly the bridge we always knew was coming."

Tom Higgins, CEO, Gold-i

Tom Higgins, CEO, Gold-i commented:

"Derive is a market leader in the rapidly growing niche area of onchain options, currently doing about 90% of onchain options volume. Integrating Derive into MatrixNET aligns perfectly with our strategy of connecting clients to the best liquidity venues across both TradFi and DeFi.

Tom Higgins, CEO, Gold-i also added:

"Having had a fantastic response from clients since announcing our Hyperliquid integration, we believe this latest integration will further enhance our offering, enabling clients to access new opportunities through a seamless, institutional-grade environment."

MatrixNET is a multi-asset liquidity management and distribution platform used by brokers, fund managers, proprietary trading firms and crypto institutions. The platform offers routing and aggregation methods alongside customisable execution models, and is designed to enable institutional clients to access deep liquidity pools, achieve better prices and reduce toxic trading.
