GCEX Group partners with RULEMATCH to enhance institutional access to crypto trading.

By leveraging RULEMATCH’s advanced trading platform, GCEX aims to meet the evolving needs of institutional investors. .

ording to an official on Wednesday, the collaboration aims to offer GCEX’s customers, which include hedge funds, brokers, and ETF/ETP providers, more streamlined and efficient ways to trade digital assets.

Offering Institutional Investors Access to Crypto Trading

These institutional clients will have access to RULEMATCH’s platform, which supports rapid trading execution and integrated settlement options tailored for high-volume users. The company offers an anonymous Central-Limit Order Book (CLOB) where clients can access binding quotes from regulated liquidity providers. The CLOB minimizes settlement risks through a built-in clearing process that reduces capital requirements.

Under the terms of the partnership, RULEMATCH will be exclusively responsible for providing the platform for institutional investors to engage with the crypto market, while GCEX will act as a prime broker sponsor in the arrangement. This will make the process straightforward for clients in terms of managing settlement and ensuring liquidity access.

The Switzerland-based company operates strictly as a market operator, maintaining neutrality by not acting as a counterparty or market maker. Instead, it brings buyers and sellers together while ensuring adherence to stringent compliance measures.

The platform uses technology from Nasdaq for risk assessment and market surveillance, in addition to maintaining strict regulatory controls around money laundering and financial terrorism.

Moving Toward a More Accessible Digital Asset Market

For GCEX, the partnership with RULEMATCH aligns with its goal to support professional and institutional clients entering the digital asset space. GCEX’s technology suite XplorDigital provides infrastructure for crypto and FX trading with a focus on regulatory compliance, client fund safety, and liquidity access.

The company’s global regulatory presence includes licenses from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), which it leverages to support its client base internationally.

By working together, GCEX and RULEMATCH aim to make digital assets a more accessible and straightforward option for institutional players who seek a reliable and compliant way to engage in crypto markets.

The partnership will bring new trading capabilities to institutional clients by enabling crypto transactions with low latency, facilitating strategies often applied in traditional financial markets. GCEX and RULEMATCH’s combined offering is intended to support the needs of clients who value efficient, technology-driven trading solutions without excessive complexity or additional risk.

Commenting on the partnership, Lars Holst, CEO of GCEX, said the company is continually looking to push boundaries and extend its suite of product offerings. He further noted that collaborating with RULEMATCH is a testament to its shared vision of market integrity.

“RULEMATCH is built on state-of-the-art institutional grade technology that offers ultra-low latency trading of cryptocurrencies, with ultra-competitive fees and consistent execution latency down to 25 microseconds. Their offering is very impressive, and we share the same ethos in terms of market integrity and professionalism,” said Holst.
