# LMAX Digital > The institutional crypto currency exchange LMAX Digital is a regulated institutional spot cryptocurrency exchange for banks, funds, brokerages, and asset managers. It provides central limit order book execution alongside a full custodian solution for digital assets. LMAX Digital is a regulated institutional spot cryptocurrency exchange operating a central limit order book where banks, funds, proprietary trading firms, brokers, and asset managers trade digital assets against major fiat currency pairs. It serves institutional market participants seeking transparent, precise execution within a secure trading environment rather than retail users. Members connect through FIX, REST, or Websocket APIs for order routing and market data, with all participants receiving equal access to pricing and execution under a single public rulebook regardless of trading volume. Custody is provided through a tiered offline wallet system, combining multi-signature cold wallets for settlement liquidity with fully offline vault storage for the majority of holdings, protected by hardware security modules across separate locations. The exchange operates as a distributed ledger technology provider licensed for execution and custody services in Gibraltar. Alongside its spot exchange and custody offering, its affiliated Omnia Exchange product provides cross-asset liquidity for converting between fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and other digital assets through a single API, extending the venue's services to a broader range of institutional conversion needs. - Type: Company - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2018-05-21 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/lmax_digital ## Products - [LMAX Digital](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lmax_digital): LMAX Digital is a spot cryptocurrency exchange for institutional market participants, operating a central limit order book matched at below 90 microsecond latency.
