About GCEX

 

GCEX is the trading name of the GC Exchange group, a regulated digital prime brokerage founded in 2018 and headquartered in London, with offices across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. GCEX serves institutional and professional clients trading digital assets, FX and commodities, operating under regulatory authorisation in the UK, the EU and the UAE.

 

Regulation sits at the centre of the model, not alongside it. GCEX does not act as counterparty to client trades and does not take proprietary market positions. Clients can choose between execution-only and credit-based trading models, backed by liquidity from Tier 1 providers including B2C2, Wintermute, Cumberland, and more. There's no retail flow mixing in GCEX's core institutional business.

 

In September 2025, GCEX acquired GlobalBlock, a specialist crypto brokerage and asset management firm serving high-net-worth individuals, family offices, asset managers and corporates. The acquisition extended GCEX's reach into wealth-focused digital asset services alongside its existing institutional trading and liquidity business. GlobalBlock and GCEX Group are not authorised or regulated by the FCA for the provision of cryptoasset services, as cryptoassets are not regulated in the UK. GlobalBlock's UK cryptoasset financial promotions have been approved for communication by an FCA-authorised firm under the FCA's cryptoasset financial promotions regime.

 

GCEX's digital asset offering spans spot trading, currency exchange and collateral management, supported by Fireblocks MPC custody infrastructure. Institutional strategies are available under the GlobalBlock brand, including GB10 and GB Yield.

 

Recent developments

Beyond trading, GCEX works with fintech partners to deliver white-label technology through its proprietary XplorDigital platform suite, including XplorSpot and XplorTrader, giving brokers and other financial institutions a route into regulated digital asset markets without building the infrastructure themselves. Recent milestones include securing a MiCA licence from the Danish FSA (December 2025), a spot crypto liquidity partnership with Cumberland (April 2026), and the launch of tokenised gold trading (March 2026).

 

Awards and recognition
GCEX has been recognised by industry bodies for its work in digital asset prime brokerage, including recent Global Forex Awards and Global Crypto Awards placements.
