Cross-asset marketplace for FX and digital assets LMAX Group has launched its perpetual futures offering, extending its product portfolio with institutional-grade digital asset derivatives.
The launch represents a natural progression for LMAX given its established track record in digital asset infrastructure, supported by transparent, institutional-grade liquidity and low-latency execution. The offering allows investors to utilise greater leverage whilst accessing LMAX's liquidity and global distribution network.
LMAX has initially launched BTCUSD and ETHUSD pairs, with additional pairs to be added in future. All contracts are USD settled, reflecting the company's focus on institutional trading requirements.
Perpetual futures markets have experienced significant growth, with trading volumes totalling USD 60 trillion last year as the sector enters what LMAX describes as a new phase of legitimacy and scale amid emerging regulatory clarity. The derivatives products allow traders to gain leveraged exposure to cryptocurrency price movements without holding the underlying assets.
LMAX operates regulated infrastructure that handles over USD 40 billion average daily spot FX and digital assets flow. The company's perpetual futures offering has been built on this existing trusted infrastructure, providing precise execution and transparent price discovery.

David Mercer, CEO, LMAX Group, said:
"This launch enables our clients to confidently participate in digital asset derivatives and capitalise on crypto market momentum through the same trusted, regulated institutional trading infrastructure that handles over $40 billion average daily spot FX and digital assets flow. This product further diversifies our client offering and is another milestone as we build the leading global cross-asset marketplace."
Jenna Wright, Managing Director, Digital Assets, LMAX Group
Jenna Wright, Managing Director, Digital Assets, LMAX Group, concluded:
"Launching perpetual futures is a natural extension of our commitment to providing our clients with a comprehensive suite of digital asset trading solutions. The introduction of perpetuals reinforces our position as a trusted partner in the digital asset space, and we are excited about the opportunities that it brings for our clients."
The launch comes amid growing institutional demand for sophisticated, secure digital asset products, with perpetual futures representing a significant market opportunity for regulated trading platforms seeking to expand their derivatives offerings.
