UK Crypto Broker GCEX Launches Bitcoin and Ether Options for Professional Clients

  • —Contracts are European-style calls and puts, exercisable only at expiry and settled in fiat
  • —Expiries are monthly; pricing comes from GCEX liquidity providers and positions appear in XplorPortal
  • —GCEX hedges every trade with its liquidity providers and does not take the other side of client positions
  • —The FCA registered 68 crypto firms out of 391 applications between January 2020 and August 2026, or 17%
Why it matters: Regulated OTC options give institutions a hedging route without onboarding to exchanges such as Deribit.
