The integration enhances capital efficiency across the EDX ecosystem while reinforcing the firm&#39;s commitment to regulated, high-performance digital asset infrastructure. YLDS can be used as a collateral asset, providing institutions with greater flexibility to manage capital while benefiting from a regulated, yield-bearing security. EDX will also adopt YLDS as a treasury asset on its balance sheet, underscoring its confidence in the product and its long-term role across the digital asset markets.&#34;Firms are looking for solutions that improve capital efficiency without compromising the regulatory standards, liquidity and operational resilience they expect,&#34; said Tony Acuña-Rohter, CEO of EDX Markets. &#34;YLDS brings these attributes together in a regulated, yield-bearing asset that remains transferable and available around the clock. Integrating YLDS into our ecosystem is another step in expanding the secure infrastructure that supports institutional adoption of digital assets.&#34;The launch reflects EDX and Figure&#39;s shared commitment to advancing market infrastructure that enables institutions to benefit from the speed, accessibility and efficiency of digital assets.&#34;Exchange collateral was one of the first use cases we pointed to when we launched YLDS,&#34; said Mike Cagney, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Figure. &#34;EDX integrating YLDS as collateral and a treasury asset is that thesis playing out in practice. Institutions shouldn&#39;t have to choose between yield, liquidity and regulatory certainty, and with YLDS they don&#39;t. We see this as another step in the broader migration of traditional finance onto blockchain, and we&#39;re excited to build that infrastructure alongside EDX     .&#34;As leading firms increasingly participate in crypto markets, EDX and Figure will continue exploring opportunities to expand access to regulated digital assets and develop the necessary supporting infrastructure.About EDX EDX is a digital asset technology firm that combines an institution-only trading venue with a central clearinghouse.
