electronification, democratization and efficiency in the capital markets of the
future."</p><p class="MsoNormal">Initially

first institutional crypto exchange <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/exchange/lmax-launches-first-institutional-crypto-exchange/" target="_blank" rel="follow">in May 2018</a>. The exchange launched during a
period when the Bitcoin market was experiencing a significant downtrend, and
regulated crypto derivatives were merely emerging. However, five years on, the
decision has proven to be a success, considering the industry's evolution.</p>
