EDX Markets secured $76 million from SBI Holdings to expand institutional trading, clearing, settlement infrastructure and global capabilities further worldwide. SBI highlighted JPYSC, RLUSD
Institutional crypto trading platform EDX Markets has secured $76 million in Series C funding to strengthen its regulated digital asset infrastructure. According to a statement shared by Crypto Briefing, the funding round was led by SBI Holdings, with the capital set to support technology upgrades, product development and global expansion.
The investment reflects growing interest in regulated platforms built for institutional investors. Moreover, EDX plans to enhance its trading, clearing and settlement capabilities while broadening services for financial firms entering the digital asset market.
The company said the additional funding will support infrastructure that combines crypto trading with market structures commonly used in traditional finance. As a result, institutional clients can access digital assets through a marketplace designed around familiar operational standards.
Tony Acuña-Rohter, Chief Executive Officer of EDX Markets, said SBI Holdings brings extensive experience serving financial institutions worldwide. He added that the partnership strengthens EDX’s ability to deliver the infrastructure and market access institutional investors increasingly require.

Besides leading the funding round, SBI Holdings is reinforcing its broader digital asset strategy through its partnership with EDX Markets. The Japanese financial group has expanded its presence across regulated crypto services through several recent initiatives. Yoshitaka Kitao, Chairman and President of SBI Holdings, said trusted market infrastructure will play a central role in institutional adoption. He explained that SBI is expanding its digital asset ecosystem alongside new stablecoin initiatives and regulated financial services.
Kitao highlighted JPYSC, Japan’s first trust bank-backed yen stablecoin, as one of the group’s major projects. Additionally, he pointed to SBI’s domestic support for dollar-backed stablecoins, including RLUSD and USDC, as part of its broader strategy. He added that working with EDX Markets should accelerate innovation while expanding institutional access to regulated digital asset markets worldwide. Consequently, the partnership strengthens both companies’ efforts to support greater participation from financial institutions.
EDX has also expanded its product offerings in recent months. The company recently introduced EDX FlowConnect, a crypto-as-a-service platform designed for financial institutions seeking digital asset capabilities without building their own infrastructure.
Additionally, EDX filed an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to establish EDX Trust. The proposed national trust bank would provide digital asset custody and settlement services for institutional clients.
The latest funding gives EDX Markets additional resources to strengthen its institutional infrastructure while deepening its partnership with SBI Holdings. With regulated digital asset services gaining momentum, both companies are positioning themselves to support broader institutional participation through trading, custody and settlement solutions.
