Subject to internal due diligence, contract completion, and integration, this partnership will see Bittrex Global integrate with Copper’s ClearLoop network.

As one of the most secure digital asset exchanges in the world, Bittrex Global (Bermuda) Limited (Bittrex Global) is now partnering with Copper to further bolster its digital asset security for the exchange’s institutional investors.  

Subject to internal due diligence, contract completion, and integration, this partnership will see Bittrex Global integrate with Copper’s ClearLoop network — giving its institutional investors access to nearly instant, off-exchange settlement. Clients will soon be able to trade on Bittrex Global without being required to move assets from Copper’s custodial environment. This functionality improves operational efficiency, which is crucial during times of volatility when blockchain transaction confirmation times increase substantially as traders look for opportunities. 

Clients will also benefit from Copper’s market-first trust documentation — built to mitigate exchange counterparty and insolvency risks. 

Copper has established a new account structure dedicated to ClearLoop over which Copper has created an English law trust. Copper is appointed as the trustee and holds the client-delegated assets and Bittrex Global collateral in the account on behalf of clients and Bittrex Global as beneficiaries. Clients and Bittrex Global also grant a security interest over their assets within the trust in favour of each other. Within the trust, Bittrex Global posts collateral to facilitate settlement per a pre-determined settlement schedule. The collateral is monitored 24/7 by Copper’s financial risk team, giving both clients and Bittrex Global comfort that settlement obligations will be met.  

Dmitry Tokarev, CEO of Copper said:  “Partnering with Bittrex Global represents a significant step for both companies, as market infrastructure providers collaborate to serve a heightened focus on counterparty risk management in the wake of recent market events. We remain committed to providing industry-leading off exchange settlement, as we see a growing demand pour in from across the market.” 

Patrick Bärtschi, Head of Business Development at Bittrex Global, added: 

“As an exchange founded upon pillars of security, innovation, and compliance, we are delighted to be further bolstering the security credentials of Bittrex Global through this partnership with Copper. As one of the world’s longest-standing regulated cryptocurrency exchanges, we acknowledge Copper’s shared commitment to our values and look forward to offering our institutional investors access to near-instant, off-exchange settlement, helping them build wealth.”
