Gold-i said the integration aligns with its strategy to connect clients to a wide range of liquidity venues across both traditional and decentralized markets. The company expects the addition of Derive.xyz to expand trading opportunities for its existing client base while also opening access to new users from the DeFi sector.

Expansion of DeFi Connectivity

The move comes as decentralized exchanges expand into institutional territory, with monthly perpetual futures volumes exceeding $1.2 trillion by late 2025.
