Digital Asset Market Infrastructure
Digital asset markets require infrastructure that connects trading activity to custody, wallet status, balances, settlement state and reporting records.
ADEX Technology can support spot crypto markets, digital asset derivatives and tokenised asset workflows where configured and subject to the relevant legal and market structure.
Digital Asset Exchange Technology Market Structure
Digital asset markets may use central limit order books, RFQ workflows, broker access, API connectivity or liquidity-provider models depending on venue design.
The operating model must define assets, quote currencies, custody arrangements, settlement assets, participant roles and transfer controls.
Technology Requirements
Digital asset infrastructure needs custody integration, wallet-aware balances, market data, pre-trade controls, settlement records and surveillance.
The platform must distinguish available balances, reserved assets, collateral, settlement instructions and reconciled holdings.
Trading and Execution Workflows
Trading workflows can include WebApp access, institutional APIs, advanced order types, RFQ where configured and market data feeds.
Execution records should connect directly to risk, clearing, settlement and reporting workflows.
Risk Controls
Digital asset markets require balance checks, collateral controls, account limits, product permissions and exposure monitoring.
Derivatives or margined products may require DAMS, Dynamic IMR, concentration controls and partial auto-liquidation where configured.
Clearing and Settlement
Clear Chain can support trade capture, obligation records and clearing workflows for digital asset markets.
Clear Vault can support settlement status, asset allocation, custody integration and reconciliation.
Asset-Specific Integration Requirements
Digital asset markets require integration with custodians, wallet infrastructure, banking providers, stablecoin arrangements or registries depending on the market model.
Tokenised asset markets also require transfer restrictions, ownership records and lifecycle status.
Market Surveillance and Reporting
Market surveillance should monitor order activity, trade activity, participant behaviour, custody events, settlement events and audit trails.
Reporting should support operators, participants and authorised oversight workflows.
API and Market Data
Digital asset venues may need FIX, JSON, Binary, Market Data, Reporting and Administrative APIs.
Custody and settlement integrations should provide status updates, reconciliation events and operational records.
