Membrane Labs, Inc., a leading digital asset management software company, announces the launch of its next-generation derivatives management platform. The platform enables seamless end-to-end management of OTC derivatives transactions, including the ongoing management of portfolio collateral and trade flow settlement. The platform redefines derivatives trading management in the digital asset space for institutions, solving operational efficiency and risk management issues while delivering a superior OTC trading experience. The first transaction on the platform took place earlier this week between two industry leaders, XBTO and Arbelos Markets, using Membrane’s end-to-end infrastructure.

“Customers see Membrane’s platform as a gamechanger in the digital asset space,” said Carson Cook, CEO of Membrane. “Our technology streamlines derivatives trading and counterparty risk management on a single platform. In partnership with XBTO and Arbelos, we are setting new standards for institutional access to capital markets and portfolio management. Membrane’s platform improves the security and efficiency of the crypto OTC market .”

Mike Geraci, Head of Derivatives at Membrane, said: “Membrane unlocks the true potential of the OTC derivatives market and solves the fragmented nature of the ecosystem by providing an integrated toolset for direct market access, settlement, custom pairs and valuations, and collateral management. With this infrastructure, we expect to see robust trading volumes and liquidity shift to OTC markets.”

Arbelos Markets is a trading firm specializing in derivatives, from high-touch to programmatic. Joshua Lim, CEO of Arbelos, highlighted the impact of the platform: “Membrane’s platform addresses several critical challenges in our industry. The seamless integration of booking, collateral management with smart contracts and trade execution, along with advanced margin features , is a smart approach to crypto derivatives trading. This is an important step in reducing operational risks and improving the trading efficiency of our business.” Shiliang Tang, President of Arbelos, added: “The ease with which we can update margin requirements and move collateral with improved visibility through Membrane has significantly simplified our operational processes. This has further added a level of transparency to the bilateral derivatives landscape that exists within the industry has been seriously lacking. We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries.”
