Network Setup

The Bitnomial matching engine is hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS) US-East-2 (Ohio).

Direct Connection Protocols

Public Internet APIs

These APIs are accessible over the public internet without requiring Direct Market Access setup.

Start Trading

Leveraged spot, perpetuals, futures, options, and prediction markets, all on one CFTC-regulated exchange with crypto margin and settlement.

Signing up with Bitnomial, LLC requires additional verification with an FCM to trade futures. Futures accounts are offered by Bitnomial Clearing, LLC, a CFTC-registered FCM and NFA member. Trading in futures involves substantial risks. You should only trade in financial products that you are familiar with and understand the associated risks, and after carefully considering whether such trading is suitable in light of your investment experience, financial position, and investment objectives. Leverage in futures trading can work for you or against you. The risk of loss using leverage can exceed your initial investment amount.
