LeveL Markets, a U.S. registered broker-dealer and the operator of the LeveL ATS, announced a strategic partnership with EDX Markets, a leading digital asset firm that combines an institutional-only trading venue with a central clearinghouse, to drive broader institutional participation in digital assets.

The partnership will connect LeveL Markets' institutional trading solutions with EDX Markets' digital asset trading and clearing ecosystem, enabling institutional participants to trade digital assets through secure and efficient market infrastructure. By combining LeveL Markets' expertise in low-latency execution, advanced order routing and institutional workflows with EDX's institutional-grade trading venue, the integration will lower barriers to entry for traditional financial institutions exploring digital assets.

Steve Miele, CEO of LeveL Markets, commented, "We're excited to partner with EDX Markets to expand our institutional trading infrastructure into the digital asset space. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to applying the standards, transparency and performance expected in traditional markets to digital asset trading, creating a seamless and trusted path for institutions to engage with this asset class."

The partnership supports both LeveL Markets' and EDX Markets' missions to deliver institutional-grade access to digital assets, with a focus on market integrity, capital efficiency and alignment with evolving regulatory frameworks.

Tony Acuña-Rohter, CEO of EDX Markets, said, "LeveL Markets brings deep expertise in institutional market access and execution. By working together, we're strengthening the connectivity and infrastructure that institutions need to engage in digital assets with confidence."
