Gold-i Provides Access to the Largest Onchain Options Exchange by Integrating Derive.xyz into MatrixNET

Gold-i, a global leader in FX and crypto trading technology, is offering its clients access to the largest onchain options exchange, Derive.xyz through its ultra-low latency multi-asset liquidity management and distribution platform, MatrixNET.

This is Gold-i’s second DeFi integration, following on from its recent integration with Hyperliquid, a decentralised exchange for perpetual futures and spot crypto trading. By integrating Derive.xyz into MatrixNET, Derive’s liquidity can be accessed by Gold-i’s large client base of brokers, prop trading firms and fund managers via a range of platforms including MT4, MT5, DXtrade and CLEO. The integration also creates opportunities for Gold-i to expand to Derive’s client base of treasuries and foundations.

Nick Forster, CEO, Derive.xyz said, "Being the first options protocol integrated into MatrixNET is a meaningful milestone; it signals that institutional infrastructure is taking onchain derivatives seriously. More importantly, it opens a door that wasn't there before. Institutional users of MatrixNET can now access Derive's onchain options liquidity directly, without friction. TradFi and onchain are converging, and this integration is exactly the bridge we always knew was coming."

Tom Higgins, CEO, Gold-i added, “Derive is a market leader in the rapidly growing niche area of onchain options, currently doing about 90% of onchain options volume. Integrating Derive into MatrixNET aligns perfectly with our strategy of connecting clients to the best liquidity venues across both TradFi and DeFi.

“Having had a fantastic response from clients since announcing our Hyperliquid integration, we believe this latest integration will further enhance our offering, enabling clients to access new opportunities through a seamless, institutional-grade environment.”

Gold-i’s MatrixNET, trusted by brokers, fund managers, prop trading firms and crypto institutions worldwide, empowers users with a multitude of routing and aggregation methods and the ability to tailor execution models to suit the unique preferences of different client types. Amongst the many benefits, Gold-i’s ultra-low latency liquidity management platform enables institutional clients to access deep liquidity pools, achieve better prices, gain more clients and reduce toxic trading.
