FTX US will enhance its service provisions to its customers through the Embed infrastructure as it looks to establish its latest FTX Stocks product.
“As I mentioned when we launched FTX Stocks, our new equities and ETF trading platform, our goal at FTX is to provide a comprehensive trading application that spans all asset classes,” said Brett Harrison, FTX US President. “For equities and options trading this necessarily includes services such as clearing and custody, and our partnership with Embed showed us that they have built excellent technology and infrastructure to provide these services. We’re looking forward to working together to integrate both our teams and our technology as we continue to build FTX Stocks.”
While the acquisition amount was not revealed, the shared announcement revealed that the deal is still subject to regulatory approvals and all other customary closing conditions.
