Bridging Traditional and Digital Markets: OKX Partners with Deltix to Power Institutional Trading
By Roshan Robert, OKX US CEO
At OKX, our mission is simple but ambitious: to make digital assets accessible to institutions through the same level of infrastructure, governance, and reliability they expect from traditional markets. That’s why I’m excited to share that OKX is partnering with Deltix to expand our institutional trading capabilities across the United States.
Why This Partnership Matters
Institutional and quantitative trading firms are increasingly looking to access digital asset markets, but they need fast, regulated, secure connectivity that integrates seamlessly into existing workflows. Deltix provides one of the most respected multi-asset trading and research platforms in the world, powering equities, futures, options, FX, energy and now, digital assets. Its platforms are trusted by leading funds and brokers for low-latency execution, robust data handling, and strategy development. The integration effectively brings digital assets into the same professional-grade environment institutions already use for traditional markets by enabling institutional clients to:
Trade, test, and deploy quantitative strategies on digital assets using familiar enterprise tools
Access OKX order books and API connectivity directly through Deltix
Manage risk, reporting, and compliance seamlessly within their existing infrastructure
A Regulated Path Forward for U.S. Institutions
One of the biggest concerns we hear from institutional investors is around regulatory clarity and market structure. Many firms want to participate in digital-asset trading but can’t access offshore, unregulated venues.
OKX is built precisely for that need. OKX provides regulated, onshore access to digital-asset markets for U.S. institutional clients through its licensed U.S. entity. All trading activity conducted by U.S. market participants is routed through this local entity for full compliance with applicable regulations, while execution leverages OKX’s global shared order book to deliver institutional-grade liquidity, depth, and performance. For our institutional clients, that means:
Confidence to deploy strategies within a U.S. regulated framework
Reduced counterparty and compliance risk
Institutional-grade operational standards and custody controls
Institutional adoption is already underway, with firms like Windy Financial now trading through the integration:
“As a firm operating at the intersection of traditional and digital markets, we need professional-grade tools that can scale with our quantitative strategies,” said said Brian Petersen, Head of Digital Strategies at Windy Financial.
“The Deltix platform delivers the reliability, data quality, and latency performance our trading models demand, while its integration with OKX connects us directly to regulated, onshore digital-asset liquidity. Together, they provide a seamless, institutional-grade solution that lets us execute digital strategies with confidence, without venturing into offshore or unregulated markets. It’s a powerful step forward for quantitative and institutional firms seeking high-performance, compliant market access."
The Bigger Picture
This partnership connects two worlds: the world of traditional markets, with mature infrastructure, sophisticated risk management, and regulatory guardrails; and the world of digital-asset markets, defined by innovation, transparency, and opportunity. The lines between traditional and digital finance continue to blur and partnerships like this become essential. They allow institutions to engage in the next chapter of market evolution safely, efficiently, and on their own terms. As we scale, we’ll keep building the partnerships and products that bring digital assets firmly into the regulated financial ecosystem and set a new standard for institutional access.
