Enhanced Capabilities for Institutional Traders
The partnership brings Kemet’s comprehensive suite of derivatives trading technologies directly into the OKX ecosystem. Institutions gain access to sophisticated position management, real-time risk analytics, and portfolio-level oversight—all critical components for managing large-scale digital asset operations.
Kemet’s all-in-one platform supports the full trade lifecycle, from order routing and execution to settlement and reporting. Built on a robust API-first architecture, it enables institutions to manage their entire digital asset derivatives workflow through a single, unified endpoint. This reduces operational friction and enhances efficiency, especially for firms managing multi-exchange portfolios.
With support for advanced algorithmic execution strategies—including delta hedging, vega optimization, TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price), chase algorithms, and multi-leg orders (MLO)—traders can automate complex workflows with precision and speed. These capabilities are now fully accessible across OKX’s deep liquidity pools in derivatives markets.
Powering Complex Trading Strategies
As institutional adoption of digital assets accelerates, so does the demand for professional-grade infrastructure. Sophisticated trading strategies require more than just market access—they depend on reliable execution, intelligent risk controls, and capital-efficient frameworks.
This is where the synergy between OKX and Kemet becomes transformative. OKX Institutional already processes over $1 billion in daily options trading volume, offering features like portfolio margin mode that allow institutions to use any cryptocurrency as collateral. By offsetting positive delta from options positions against futures or perpetuals, clients achieve better hedging efficiency and reduced margin requirements.
Furthermore, OKX’s risk offset mode enables capital optimization by recognizing correlated risks across different product types. When combined with Kemet’s execution intelligence, this creates a powerful environment for institutions aiming to maximize returns while minimizing exposure and overhead.
Seamless Integration and Operational Efficiency
Kemet’s turnkey solution is designed for rapid deployment and scalability. Its Order and Execution Management System (OEMS) has processed over $8 billion in trading volume since launching less than a year ago—a testament to its performance, reliability, and growing industry trust.
By integrating with OKX via a full set of APIs, Kemet ensures best execution through wide market connectivity and end-to-end automation. This includes smart order routing, real-time P&L tracking, and automated position reconciliation—features that streamline operations for hedge funds, market makers, and proprietary trading desks.
The platform also supports seamless custodial integrations. OKX partners with top-tier custodians like Copper and Komainu, allowing institutions to maintain secure off-exchange storage while actively trading on-platform. This hybrid model balances security with operational agility.
