Ownership of ErisX presents the opportunity for Cboe to enter the digital asset spot and derivatives marketplaces through a digital-first platform developed with industry partners to focus on regulatory compliance, data, and transparency.
ErisX’ real-time clearing system is designed to address settlement risk while collateral management helps to allow movement of collateral between spot and futures accounts. Cboe plans to operate the digital asset business as Cboe Digital.
