The team at Copper is pleased to announce that they will be teaming up with BitMart and joining the ClearLoop network, subject to contracts and the completion of technical integration.
The settlement solution will “offer BitMart’s institutional clients the ability to trade on the BitMart exchange whilst their funds remain in Copper’s custody, thus mitigating counterparty risk exposure, improving capital efficiency and speeding up settlement times.”
As a part of the ClearLoop network, BitMart’s institutional clients will “be able to trade on BitMart while their assets remain safeguarded in Copper’s custody.”
Victor Wei, Vice-President of Institutional Clients at BitMart, said:
