Gold-i has integrated decentralized derivatives platform Derive.xyz
into its platform, giving institutional clients direct access to onchain
options liquidity. The move expands the firm’s decentralized finance offering
and follows its recent integration with crypto exchange Hyperliquid.
Access to Onchain Options via MatrixNET
According to the information shared with Finance Magnates, the integration on MatrixNET allows brokers, prop trading
firms, and fund managers to trade Derive’s onchain options through existing
platforms such as MT4, MT5, DXtrade, and CLEO. Users can access this liquidity
without changing their current trading setup.
Tom Higgins, the CEO of Gold-i, said: “Derive is a
market leader in the rapidly growing niche area of onchain options, currently
doing about 90% of onchain options volume. Integrating Derive into MatrixNET
aligns perfectly with our strategy of connecting clients to the best liquidity
venues across both TradFi and DeFi.”
“Having had a fantastic response from clients since
announcing our Hyperliquid integration, we believe this latest integration will
further enhance our offering, enabling clients to access new opportunities
through a seamless, institutional-grade environment.”

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
In March, Gold-i said it had integrated Hyperliquid into its MatrixNET liquidity management platform, marking the first time the system has connected to a decentralized exchange. Through a standard connection, brokers, proprietary trading firms, and fund managers can route order flow to Hyperliquid’s on-chain derivatives venue and stream that liquidity directly into MetaTrader 5 and other trading platforms, the UK-based firm said.
The move comes as decentralized exchanges expand into institutional territory, with monthly perpetual futures volumes exceeding $1.2 trillion by late 2025. Gold-i said it handles the translation layer between traditional brokerage infrastructure and on-chain execution, allowing clients to access pricing and liquidity from Hyperliquid while continuing to use MatrixNET’s aggregation, smart routing, and risk management tools.
Additionally, Gold-i expanded its crypto liquidity offering by integrating the Crypto.com Exchange into MatrixNET. This allows institutional clients to access the venue through a single FIX API connection. The addition enables brokers, prop firms, and fund managers to tap into Crypto.com’s liquidity pool alongside existing providers.
