OKX Becomes First Global Exchange To Partner With Zagtrader, Unlocking Direct Access To Digital Assets For Institutions


(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- OKX, a leading global digital asset exchange and on-chain technology company, today announced a regional partnership with ZagTrader, a global financial tech company and recognized leader in capital markets infrastructure, establishing direct institutional connectivity between the Zag Financial Network [ZagFN] and OKX's trading platform in the MENA region.

The partnership will see ZagTrader's institutional client base receive direct access to OKX, offering a simple and native way to access OKX's trading platform.

"We're continuing to see the burgeoning interest of institutions in digital assets, which is absolutely critical for the long-term health of the digital assets industry - it brings stability, liquidity and credibility," said Iskandar Vanblarcum, Vice President of Business Development at OKX. "This partnership with ZagTrader is a key enabler of that goal, bringing access to a significant base of institutional clients."

ZagTrader provides fully integrated front-to-back Order Execution Management Systems configured for OKX, providing clients with both scale and efficiency.

"A common question today is how do we better bridge between the world of traditional and digital finance, in a way that is both efficient and sustainable," said Shihab Khalil, Founder and Chairman of ZagTrader. "Institutional interest in digital assets will only continue to grow, and it is incumbent upon us to find a way to effectively cater to that demand - this partnership with OKX is a significant step in that direction."
