Marex has expanded its digital assets offering with the launch of a new Rolling Spot crypto product designed for institutional clients, providing long and short exposure to cryptocurrency markets without requiring investors to directly hold the underlying digital assets.
The new product is structured as a cash-settled over-the-counter derivative and targets hedge funds, asset managers and crypto-native institutions seeking access to digital asset markets through established institutional trading infrastructure.
The cash-settled structure allows clients to gain exposure to cryptocurrency price movements while avoiding some of the custody, settlement and operational requirements associated with directly owning digital assets.
Alongside the launch, Marex has introduced Neon Crypto, a digital assets application integrated into the company’s existing Neon platform. The service provides institutional clients with access to Marex’s digital asset capabilities and includes streaming market depth, precision execution, real-time margin monitoring and portfolio management tools.
The integration is intended to make digital asset trading more accessible within Marex’s existing institutional infrastructure, allowing clients to manage crypto exposure alongside other trading activities.
Samuel Leyne, Co-Head of Crypto Trading at Marex, said increasing legal and regulatory clarity is supporting greater institutional adoption of digital assets. The company sees growing demand from professional investors for crypto products that can be incorporated into familiar trading, credit and risk-management frameworks.
The launch builds on Marex’s broader presence in institutional financial markets, where the company provides services spanning execution, clearing, liquidity, financing and prime brokerage.
Marex’s latest move also reflects the continued development of institutional cryptocurrency markets, as hedge funds, asset managers and other professional investors increasingly seek ways to access digital assets without taking on the operational requirements associated with direct cryptocurrency ownership.
By combining crypto market exposure with its existing trading and margin infrastructure, Marex is positioning the Rolling Spot product as another route for institutional investors seeking to incorporate digital assets into their trading strategies.
