Developments in Crypto Derivatives: Why Crypto Firms Join ISDA

The crypto-assets market has been growing at an astonishing pace and is increasingly attracting the attention of institutional investors and banks – and policy-makers too. Yesterday, President Biden signed an executive order calling for measures in six priority areas to ensure the US maintains technological leadership in this rapidly evolving space while also addressing potential risks.

Alongside this rapid growth in digital assets, we have seen a strong interest in crypto derivatives. As in any market, over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives play a vital role in enabling participants to manage risk, deepening liquidity and broadening market access.

For more than 35 years, ISDA has worked with industry participants to establish the foundations to support OTC derivatives markets – for example, by developing legal standards and documentation and advocating for a risk-appropriate capital framework. We’re now bringing this experience to bear in the crypto market.

As in the past, we’re working with participants from all corners of the market, in this case including firms that are specifically focused on crypto assets. Our overall objective is also unchanged: to foster safe and efficient derivatives markets.
