LONDON, 13 March, 2026. Elliptic today announced it has added blockchain coverage for EDGE Chain, a high-performance blockchain that powers edgeX, a decentralized trading platform offering perpetual futures, spot and commodities trading through a central limit orderbook. This is Elliptic’s 64th blockchain integration.
EDGE Chain now joins Elliptic’s blockchain analytics platform. For Elliptic’s customers, this means they can manage risk on edgeX with the same confidence they have on every other covered blockchain. For the EDGE Chain ecosystem, it means compliance infrastructure is built in from the start.
“Elliptic’s partnership with edgeX extends our cross-chain coverage to one of the fastest-growing segments in decentralized finance. As orderbook-based perp DEXs attract professional and institutional trading flows, our customers need consistent compliance standards and low latency across centralized and decentralized venues. That’s what we deliver.” — Jackson Hull, CTO at Elliptic
What is edgeX?
edgeX is a decentralized trading platform built for professional-grade trading performance across perpetual futures, spot market and commodities, with prediction markets on the roadmap. Unlike automated market maker (AMM) protocols, edgeX uses a central limit orderbook, delivering lower slippage and tighter spreads, closer to what traders expect from centralized exchanges.
The platform runs on EDGE Chain, a purpose-built rollup that settles through Arbitrum (L2) and ultimately finalizes on Ethereum (L1). This layered architecture is designed to combine exchange-grade throughput with the transparency and self-custody guarantees of on-chain settlement. The platform has over 300,000 transacting addresses, approximately $412 million in total value locked (TVL) and billions of dollars in daily trading volume.
EdgeX recently received a strategic investment from Circle Ventures, which has brought native USDC and Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) to EDGE Chain. Once live, native USDC will replace the current bridged USDC and serve as the network’s settlement, margin and liquidation asset, supporting institutional workflows across the edgeX ecosystem.
“We use Elliptic for reliable on-chain transaction monitoring and AML screening to ensure compliance and detect illicit activity.”
— Kevin Wang, edgeX CEO
What Elliptic supports
Elliptic’s integration brings compliance-grade data quality to edgeX. Customers can:
- Catch exposure to high-risk activity before it becomes a problem, with real-time risk screening on edgeX addresses and contracts
- Stay ahead of suspicious patterns with automated alerts on risk threshold breaches, velocity spikes and interactions with high-risk entities or bridges
- Follow the money across the full settlement path, tracing fund flows between EDGE Chain, Arbitrum, Ethereum and centralized exchanges with entity context at every step
- Understand who is operating on the network, with ecosystem-level intelligence on entities, clusters and activity hotspots
Cross-chain visibility is particularly important here. As an L3, EDGE Chain sits at the end of a multi-layer settlement path. Funds entering and leaving the platform typically traverse Ethereum and Arbitrum before reaching EDGE Chain, and compliance teams need to trace that full journey to assess risk accurately.
For exchanges and custodians, this means they now have on- and off-ramp risk controls for edgeX-related flows through Elliptic. Market makers and professional traders gain counterparty screening, trade surveillance and post-trade investigation capabilities.
And as native USDC and CCTP arrive on EDGE Chain, institutions will be able to apply policy controls to stablecoin flows, including allow/deny lists and settlement controls, with full audit-ready lineage for regulatory reporting.
