D2X Secures €4.3 Million in Strategic Funding Round Backed by CMT Digital, Circle Ventures and Point72 Ventures
Amsterdam, 29 July 2025 — D2X, the European institutional-grade derivatives exchange for digital assets, has raised €4.3 million in a strategic funding round. CMT Digital, Circle Ventures and Canton Ventures joined the raise as strategic investors, alongside the renewed backing of Point72 Ventures, Tioga Capital, GSR, and Fortino Capital.
This round marks a significant milestone for D2X as it continues to facilitate the institutional adoption of digital assets. The strategic investment will primarily support product development and institutional client onboarding.
As part of its product roadmap, D2X has recently started offering USD-denominated futures on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). This new product addition addresses the significant institutional interest in USD-denominated crypto derivatives and reinforces D2X’s role as a trusted, regulated trading venue tailored to institutional standards. USD-denominated options on BTC and ETH are expected to follow shortly.
Last year, D2X became the first exchange to obtain an MTF (Multilateral Trading Facility) license for crypto derivatives in the EU, operating under a unique post-trade model that enables 7-days-a-week trading within a MiFID II-compliant framework. The company is now entering a new growth phase fueled by strong institutional interest and continued product expansion.
Theodore Rozencwajg, Co-founder at D2X commented: “We are thrilled to welcome strategic investors who share our vision for a compliant and robust digital asset ecosystem. This funding allows us to enhance our product suite and accelerate the onboarding of Tier-1 institutions that require a trusted, regulated trading venue.”
Charlie Sandor, Investment Partner at CMT Digital commented: “At CMT Digital, we have long believed that regulatory clarity and institutional infrastructure are key to unlocking the next chapter of digital asset adoption. D2X addresses two of the most pressing challenges for European institutional investors: the lack of regulated trading venues and the disconnect between 24/7 crypto markets and traditional exchange hours. With its MTF license and robust, weekend-ready trading architecture, D2X sets a new benchmark for crypto derivatives in Europe. We’re proud to back a team that is building the infrastructure institutions need to participate in this evolving market with confidence.”
