Expansion of an already strong relationship

The partnership marks a notable expansion of the relationship established at the end of 2021, when FTX US selected Validus for trade surveillance and risk monitoring on FTX US Derivatives, its licensed cryptocurrency futures and options clearinghouse and exchange, and FTX US spot market.

Eventus CEO Travis Schwab said:

We’re incredibly honored that FTX.COM has placed its full confidence in our platform after experiencing first-hand its power and versatility for meeting compliance and regulatory goals. The exchange has made abundantly clear the importance of a fulsome trade surveillance program to its overall mission, and we’re particularly pleased that FTX leaders recognize how Validus can meet its changing needs as the company continues to grow at such a stunning pace and establish new regulated markets in jurisdictions throughout the world.

On April 28 Mike Castiglione, Eventus Director of Regulatory Affairs, Digital Assets, will speak at the Crypto Bahamas Conference on the U.S. Crypto Regulation panel.
