FTX Integrates Copper Trading Tool ClearLoop
ClearLoop lowers risk by allowing institutional investors to hold on to assets until just before a trade is executed.

Crypto exchange FTX has integrated ClearLoop, a trading tool from infrastructure provider Copper.
- Copper introduced ClearLoop last year to remove the need for traders to deposit digital assets with an exchange in a hot wallet before being able to trade, a requirement that raised concerns the assets would be vulnerable to hacks.
- ClearLoop allows institutional investors to hold on to assets until just before a trade is executed.
- The integration will allow Copper's client base of more than 300 institutional asset managers to trade FTX products with funds secured by Copper, according to an emailed announcement Tuesday.
- Clients are able to retain their trading capital, either in a cold wallet or a custodial solution, while trades are initiated. ClearLoop transfers the assets to the buyer through an exchange once the trade has been completed.
- The co-founder of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, said integration will enable the exchange to "stay ahead of the pack" through a "reduced level of counterparty risk required by many institutions."
