FCA-Approved Crypto Derivatives Platform GFO-X Launches in UK, Marking Institutional Milestone
London-based GFO-X has executed its inaugural trade as the UK’s first FCA-regulated cryptocurrency derivatives venue, signaling a regulatory thaw for institutional digital asset participation. The platform’s launch accelerates institutional adoption through centralized clearing and risk-managed infrastructure.
"This establishes the foundation for professional digital asset derivatives trading with robust liquidity," said CEO Arnab Sen, noting the participation of major financial institutions in the debut transaction. The development reflects Britain’s shifting posture toward crypto markets previously constrained by regulatory barriers.
