EDX Markets has integrated Fireblocks Network Link, giving institutional clients that already use Fireblocks a direct way to fund accounts, rebalance liquidity and move digital assets into and out of the institutional-only trading venue and central clearinghouse. The companies announced the connection on September 9, 2026.
The integration targets fragmented institutional liquidity. Institutions often hold assets across custodians, wallets, exchanges and settlement accounts, and moving capital between them typically requires separate address books, approval processes and operational checks. With Network Link, EDX appears inside existing Fireblocks workflows, allowing clients to transfer assets and allocate funds without leaving familiar tools.
Tony Acuna-Rohter, chief executive of EDX Markets, said the move would reduce friction and give clients greater flexibility in deploying capital. He described institutional adoption as dependent on digital asset rails matching the speed and efficiency of traditional markets.
However, the announcement does not mean every EDX trade settles instantly. Asset transfers are distinct from trade settlement and finality. The companies did not publish a list of enabled assets, transfer fees or initial client volume, and institutions still need an EDX relationship and must meet onboarding and eligibility requirements. EDX retains its account controls, supported-asset requirements and clearing model.
Fireblocks, which the firms describe as an enterprise platform that has secured more than $16 trillion in digital-asset activity, provides custody, transfer and connectivity infrastructure. The partnership is framed as part of a broader effort to let regulated firms use digital assets without rebuilding every operational layer, similar to other recent institutional initiatives in tokenized trading and settlement.
