London, UK: has achieved SOC 2 Type I certification, marking a significant step in strengthening its governance, security and operational controls as institutional participation in digital-asset markets continues to accelerate.
The independent certification validates the design and implementation of ABEX’s control framework across security, availability and confidentiality, reinforcing the firm’s position as a provider of institutional-grade trading infrastructure at a time when scrutiny of digital-asset trading partners is intensifying.
As asset managers, hedge funds and proprietary trading firms demand higher standards of transparency and operational resilience from crypto-market infrastructure, SOC 2 has increasingly become a baseline expectation rather than a differentiator. ABEX certification signals its readiness to support institutional clients operating under strict governance and risk-management requirements.
Erkan Kaya, CEO and Co-Founder of ABEX, said:
“Digital-asset markets are maturing, and institutional participants are rightly demanding the same standards they expect across traditional finance. Achieving SOC 2 Type I is a clear signal that ABEX is built to operate within those expectations, combining performance-led execution with robust controls and governance.”
The certification forms part of ABEX's broader regulatory and control framework. The firm is registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority as a crypto-asset business and recently secured authorisation for its derivatives subsidiary, ABEX UK Derivatives Limited, further strengthening its institutional credentials.
ABEX is progressing toward SOC 2 Type II certification as part of its ongoing roadmap, reflecting a continued focus on operational maturity, risk management and long-term scalability.
Founded to meet the execution demands of sophisticated market participants, ABEX delivers ultra-low-latency, data-driven execution algorithms for digital assets. Its technology is designed to minimise market impact, maximise passive fill rates and reduce execution costs—capabilities increasingly critical as institutional trading volumes in digital assets grow.
