The FTX bitcoin exchange in the United States has opted to purchase a stake in IEX Group Inc in order to cooperate on technical and regulatory efforts as well as expand institutional and individual investor access to digital assets. The merger must yet be authorized by antitrust authorities. This would be IEX’s first significant foray into the world of digital asset trading since it aims to provide institutional investors with access to digital assets, as described in Michael Lewis’ book Flash Boys.

Binance’s partner platform in the United States offers a limited range of cryptocurrencies and does not accept margin or futures trading.
