Bitnomial Launches Crypto Margin Deposits for Leveraged Perpetuals, Futures, and Options Trading

CHICAGO, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bitnomial, Inc. ("Bitnomial"), a U.S. derivatives exchange company, is thrilled to announce the launch of digital asset margin collateral for leveraged perpetuals, futures, and options trading on its U.S. CFTC-regulated exchange, Bitnomial Exchange, LLC, and clearinghouse, Bitnomial Clearinghouse, LLC. This makes Bitnomial Exchange the first and only CFTC-regulated exchange accepting digital asset deposits as margin collateral, starting with Bitcoin and Ether.

Digital asset margin deposits are live today for institutional clients and will be available to retail traders in late September 2025 through Botanical, Bitnomial's new retail trading platform. By combining digital asset margin deposits with digital asset settlement, traders can now both margin and settle in either digital assets or U.S. Dollars, depending on their positions, a massive capital efficiency improvement and capability unique to Bitnomial in the U.S. regulated derivatives market.

"Bitnomial is bringing digital asset margin collateral to U.S. markets for the first time ever," said Luke Hoersten, CEO of Bitnomial. "Along with our digital asset settlements, this is a game-changer for traders who have been waiting for a compliant, efficient way to leverage their digital assets. This comes on the back of Bitnomial launching the first-ever U.S. perpetual futures, showcasing the momentum we have and continue to build with pivotal U.S.-first offerings. Our team has worked tirelessly over the years to navigate the complex technical and regulatory landscape to make this happen, and we're proud to offer something truly groundbreaking that meets the needs of modern traders."

"With the addition of crypto margin deposits, institutional and retail traders can now access a broader range of CFTC-regulated crypto derivatives," added Michael Dunn, President of Bitnomial Exchange, LLC. "This further solidifies Bitnomial's position as the leading venue for U.S.-domiciled, fully compliant crypto derivatives trading."

Bitnomial is actively working on expanding margin collateral and trading support for additional crypto assets. This initiative is transformative for key market participants, including crypto-native funds, commercial hedgers, and institutional traders. By reducing the need for USD reserves, traders can deploy their digital asset holdings more efficiently, maintaining exposure while accessing leverage and hedging opportunities. This marks a milestone in the evolution of crypto derivatives, bringing the efficiency and flexibility that crypto traders expect to the regulated U.S. market structure.
