EDX Markets, the institutional crypto exchange backed by Citadel Securities, Virtu Financial and Fidelity Digital Assets, has partnered with VerifiedX to launch institutional spot trading of Verified Bitcoin (vBTC) on its US trading platform. vBTC is a tokenized form of Bitcoin built on VerifiedX’s layer-2 protocol, backed one-to-one by actual Bitcoin and held in self-custodial addresses.
