Digital Assets Now First-Class Margin Collateral in the U.S.
Bitnomial built the first and only crypto-native spot and derivatives exchange and clearinghouse in the U.S. That infrastructure includes crypto settlement, crypto margin collateral, perpetual futures, and most recently leveraged retail spot trading. New CFTC and OCC guidance means both independent and bank-affiliated brokerages can now support Bitnomial's crypto margin deposits and settlement for the first time.

Why Crypto-Settled Futures Matter
Bitnomial Exchange is the only U.S.-regulated exchange offering futures and options that settle in crypto or 'physical settlement'. While most U.S. crypto derivatives settle in fiat, Bitnomial's contracts deliver actual digital assets at expiration. This distinction opens up real ownership, digital assets as margin, and trading strategies unavailable with cash-only futures.

In-Kind Crypto ETFs Meet Physical Futures
The SEC now permits in-kind creations and redemptions for U.S. spot crypto ETFs. Pair that with Bitnomial’s in-kind crypto margin deposits and crypto settlement for perpetuals, futures, and options, and the result is a true bridge between listed futures and ETF primary flows. Traders can source or deliver the underlying in kind, lock spreads to NAV with physical futures, and cut conversion and timing frictions that cash creations force market makers to absorb.
