ApexMatch
Every market matches on the same deterministic kernel, with fair sequencing and price-time priority. See execution.
Markets
Institutional instruments. Retail clarity. Onchain finality. Immediate delivery, leverage, volatility, currencies, commodities and real-world assets sit in one account, under one risk view and one settlement truth.

Eight instrument families
Every instrument has its own mechanics — funding, expiry, volatility, trading sessions, delivery, lifecycle events. All of them connect to the same execution, risk and settlement core.
01 / 08
Crypto, tokenized assets, FX spot
Immediate delivery with atomic settlement: the asset and the payment move in the same state transition.
An interactive constellation of eight market objects — spot, perpetuals, futures, options, FX, commodities, equities and real-world assets — grouped around a single portfolio. Selecting an instrument brings its connections forward and updates the panel with a one-line definition, a short explanation and the behaviors that set that market apart, such as funding for perpetuals or delivery controls for commodities. The same eight markets are listed as links further down this page.
One portfolio
A perpetual hedge against a spot holding, an options overlay on a futures position, a currency hedge on a tokenized fund: in most setups each leg sits in a different account under a different margin model. Here they sit in one portfolio.
Aegis evaluates each order against the whole graph — collateral, Greeks, concentration, correlation and liquidation paths. Offsetting positions are recognized where published parameters allow, and concentrated ones are seen early.

Why one stack
Most traders assemble market access from parts: a broker for currencies and contracts, a crypto venue for perpetuals, a bot service for automation, separate applications for yield. Each part keeps its own balances, its own margin model and its own record of what happened.
One control plane changes the arithmetic. Collateral is not stranded at one venue while another calls for margin, a hedge is recognized as a hedge, and the history of every position sits in one verifiable record.

Market access
No. Access to each product depends on your jurisdiction and eligibility, and some instruments — tokenized equities and many real-world assets among them — are reserved for particular categories of investor. The jurisdictions page explains the restrictions.
Only if you choose it. Isolated margin ring-fences a position, cross margin shares eligible collateral within an account, and portfolio margin recognizes offsetting risk across instruments where published parameters allow.
Marks, fixings and valuations come from Prism, which combines independent sources and attaches a confidence score to every price it publishes. Low confidence tightens price bands or pauses matching rather than passing an unreliable price through.
Only within the account’s eligibility and the owner’s permissions. Strategies and Cortex agents use the same order language and risk checks as manual trading, and each agent reaches only the markets on its allow list.
Leverage can magnify losses as well as gains, and access to each product depends on jurisdiction and eligibility. Tell us which markets matter to you.
