Bitnomial Launches Crypto Margin Deposits In U.S.
Bitnomial, Inc. ("Bitnomial"), a U.S.-based derivatives exchange, announced the launch of digital asset margin collateral for leveraged perpetuals, futures, and options. This makes Bitnomial Exchange, LLC and Bitnomial Clearinghouse, LLC the first and only CFTC-regulated U.S. venues to accept cryptocurrency deposits as margin collateral, beginning with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).
The new system went live for institutional participants today and will extend to retail traders in late September 2025 via Botanical, Bitnomial’s retail trading platform. By combining digital asset margin deposits with digital asset settlements, market participants can margin and settle in either crypto or U.S. dollars, depending on their exposure. This represents a major step forward in capital efficiency, offering capabilities unique in the regulated U.S. derivatives market.
“Bitnomial is bringing digital asset margin collateral to U.S. markets for the first time ever,” said Luke Hoersten, CEO of Bitnomial. “Alongside digital asset settlement, this breakthrough gives traders an efficient and compliant way to put their holdings to work. It builds on our milestone of launching the first U.S. perpetual futures, showing the momentum we continue to drive with first-of-its-kind offerings.”
Michael Dunn, President of Bitnomial Exchange, added: “With crypto margin deposits, institutional and retail clients alike gain access to a wider selection of regulated crypto derivatives. This strengthens Bitnomial’s standing as the leading U.S.-domiciled, fully compliant venue for crypto derivatives.”
Bitnomial is also preparing to expand support for additional cryptocurrencies as margin collateral. This shift could prove transformative for crypto-native funds, hedgers, and institutional investors, enabling them to deploy holdings more efficiently while retaining exposure and hedging opportunities. By reducing the reliance on USD reserves, the initiative marks a major milestone in aligning digital asset efficiency with U.S. regulatory standards.
