Zodia Custody has added BitMEX to its Interchange off-venue settlement network, extending institutional clients’ ability to access one of the world’s most established crypto derivatives exchanges without moving assets out of custody.

Trade Without Moving Assets
The integration allows Zodia Custody clients to execute trades on BitMEX while their assets remain securely stored in regulated cold custody infrastructure.
Through Interchange’s model of asset mirroring and collateral locking, trading exposure is enabled without transferring underlying funds to the exchange—reducing counterparty risk while preserving execution flexibility.

Interchange is designed to bridge custody and trading venues, giving institutions direct market access while maintaining segregated asset control.
With BitMEX now live on the network, Zodia Custody expands its offering into derivatives markets, adding another major venue to its growing ecosystem of supported exchanges and liquidity providers.
Access Without Compromise
“In successfully launching BitMEX on the Interchange network, our clients gain direct access to a leading derivatives exchange without compromising custody of their assets,” said Wing Cheah, Head of Interchange Product at Zodia Custody. “This provides greater flexibility, more trading options, and the confidence that assets remain in cold storage until settlement.”
For BitMEX, the integration reinforces its positioning in institutional markets by pairing exchange liquidity with regulated custody infrastructure.
“Our partnership with Zodia Custody cements BitMEX as a premier institutional-grade trading platform,” said Mark Collins, Head of Custody at BitMEX. “It strengthens our commitment to security, transparency, and compliance for professional clients.”
Expanding the Interchange Ecosystem
Interchange is increasingly positioning itself as a connectivity layer for institutional crypto markets, linking custodians, exchanges, and OTC venues into a unified settlement framework.
BitMEX’s addition brings derivatives liquidity into that ecosystem, reinforcing the network’s role in supporting high-volume institutional trading flows.
