Today is a defining moment for Kemet Trading . We're partnering with Coinbase, and Coinbase Ventures is investing in us as part of the partnership. Coinbase Institutional clients can now execute sophisticated derivatives strategies across Coinbase Exchange, Coinbase Derivatives Exchange, Coinbase International Exchange, and Deribit — all through Kemet's platform. Coinbase's acquisition of Deribit gave them the most comprehensive derivatives offering in crypto. Institutional clients running multi-leg options strategies, spread trades, and delta-hedged positions need expanded institutional-grade derivatives execution — the workflow layer that turns those venues into a unified institutional stack. That's the gap Kemet fills. We started Kemet on the bet that crypto derivatives infrastructure would need to look more like traditional markets — proper OEMS, PMS, smart routing, real risk management. Coinbase choosing us as their preferred OEMS partner for institutional derivatives is meaningful validation of that thesis. To the Kemet team — none of this happens without you. To Greg Tusar, Liz Martin, Luuk Strijers , Lauren Abendschein, Usman Naeem, Aklil Ibssa, Samuel Hoebelheinrich and the broader Coinbase team — thank you for believing in what we're building and for putting Coinbase's name behind us. The work starts now. We have a lot of clients to win, a lot of product to build, and a lot of trust to earn. Excited for what comes next. Read more: official press release link in the comments
Do institutional clients connect via API or is there a front-end interface too?
Nice work Ash!

Curious whether other exchanges approach you now or if Coinbase exclusivity limits that

This is a strong signal of where institutional crypto infrastructure is heading. The market increasingly needs institutional grade execution layers, risk management, and workflow infrastructure that look much closer to traditional capital markets systems.
Ash Ashmawy how are you thinking about the regulatory piece across those venues given they operate under different frameworks?
I am using a fiduciary responsibility zone in the middle of field Auditorium Shores Austin Texas to process XMR debt resolution grants, this is not lightweight crypto stuff, these are hardened cyber gangsters who have broken fiduciary responsibility rules and deserve to be shown the light of day
Spread trades across Coinbase Derivatives and Deribit simultaneously — that's the use case I'd want to see proven out

What does smart routing actually optimize for — cost, speed, or fill quality?
