Enclave’s Fully Encrypted Exchange, or FEX, offers a confidential trading environment rather like ain traditional markets. The model essentially creates a crossing network using a pricing oracle to establish a midpoint price for an asset, averaged across various trading venues.
When a user logs on, funds an account and submits an order, they only need the size and direction of the proposed trade; they don’t need to put in the price, because all the trades are matched at that midpoint price whenever there’s liquidity on the other side, explained Enclave Markets CEO David Wells.
The partnership with Hidden Road further assures institutions since trading and settlement of assets is done directly from custody, with the added buying power of a credit line that’s typically offered by prime brokers. “Traditional institutions don’t want to integrate directly with exchanges, send their funds and have that counterparty risk,” said Wells in an interview with CoinDesk. “An API call allows you to submit your order to the Enclave marketplace liquidity pool. We then match that order and report that trade back to Hidden Road, who do all the settlement and clearing on their side, netting those trades out against other trades done that day in different venues.
As well as integrating with Hidden Road’s network of custodians, Enclave is also partnering directly with custody platforms, including BitGo, Wells pointed out.
