ErisX Addresses OTC Trading with Enhanced Block Trading Capabilities

ErisX is committed to being the leader in the Spot and Futures markets for cryptocurrencies. We are excited to announce that our Block trading facility can now be accessed through our new REST API. Block trading is available on all the Exchange’s listed spot and regulated-futures products.

Members enjoy:

• Competitive Pricing
• Expanded Universe of Counterparties
• Simplified Operations
• Bi-lateral Counterparty Risk Eliminated

ErisX is implementing a workflow that is familiar to capital markets professionals and improves upon crypto OTC practices.

Registered market participants will be able to submit pre-negotiated block trades to Eris Exchange through our REST based API, or our Trading Interface, which after automated review, will be settled and cleared at Eris Clearing. This removes the headaches of OTC escrow based workflows and eliminates Counterparty Settlement risk.

Key process points:

• Registered Members of our Clearinghouse enter two-sided block trades via our Trading Interface or REST API into the exchange.
• ErisX verifies credit for both parties and submits the trade to the ErisX clearing system for processing.
• Accepted block trades generate Trade Capture Reports on our realtime Drop Copy (STP) API.
• Completed block trades are immediately cleared and visible in the ErisX Member Portal and via the REST API
