GIBRALTAR & LONDON - April 15, 2025 - Bullish, one of the fastest-growing regulated digital asset exchanges, today announced a partnership with Archax, the FCA-regulated digital asset exchange, broker, and custodian. The collaboration aims to enhance liquidity for stablecoins launched by Archax on the Bullish Exchange, by utilising Bullish’s proprietary Automated Market Maker (AMM).
With years of experience in digital asset markets and a commitment to regulatory compliance, Archax offers an end-to-end solution for stablecoin and asset reference token issuance. Through this partnership, Archax will introduce clients who have developed stablecoin structures to Bullish, while Bullish will refer clients interested in creating and launching stablecoin offerings to Archax. This reciprocal relationship aims to strengthen the stablecoin ecosystem by combining Archax’s expertise in launching stablecoins with Bullish’s market-leading liquidity solutions.
“We are proud to partner with Archax to support the introduction and adoption of new stablecoins into the market. This collaboration not only benefits our customers by offering a greater choice of highly liquid digital assets but also supports the broader integration of stablecoins within the digital asset ecosystem”, said Chris Tyrer, President of Bullish Exchange.
Since its launch in November 2021, Bullish Exchange has surpassed $1.3 trillion in cumulative trading volume and continues to expand its offerings to meet both institutional and retail demand. In the second half of 2024, the platform recorded average daily trading volumes exceeding $2 billion. Bullish has become a top-tier, institutionally-focused digital assets exchange, that offers best execution in crypto’s biggest assets and deep, deterministic liquidity from its automated market maker. The exchange lists a number of stablecoins and has emerged as a leading source of liquidity for regulated stablecoins RLUSD and PYUSD - establishing itself as the principal platform for trading these digital assets1.
Keith O’Callaghan, Head of Product Structuring at Archax, adds: “Partnering with Bullish represents a significant step forward in our mission to bring credible, regulated stablecoins to market. By combining our structuring, regulated reserve custodial and tokenisation expertise with Bullish’s deep liquidity infrastructure, we can offer a streamlined experience to institutions looking to both launch and actively trade stablecoins in a compliant environment. This collaboration reinforces the accelerating confluence of traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem”.
