Regulation & Security
MIAXdx is a U.S. federally regulated exchange and clearinghouse. MIAXdx holds three licenses with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC):
- Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO)
- Designated Contract Market (DCM)
- Swap Execution Facility (SEF)
These licenses enable us to operate our exchange and clearinghouse in all 50 states in the US (including its territories), with access to certain international jurisdictions.
What is the CFTC?
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is an independent federal agency of the U.S. Government and oversees and regulates derivatives markets, including swaps, options and futures on bitcoin and ethereum.
All trades executed on MIAXdx DCM are cleared by the MIAXdx DCO.
- Anti Money Laundering (AML): MIAXdx has undergone a full analysis and review of our OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) procedures and AML processes, strategy, policy, controls and related technologies.
- Financial Condition: Grant Thorton audited MIAXdx financial condition and expressed an unqualified opinion (i.e., clean bill of health) that our financial statements were presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP accounting principles.
- Digital Currency: Because we custody bitcoin and ethereum on behalf of our clients, Grant Thorton conducted a thorough examination of how we hold digital assets.
- Security: Praetorian, a trusted name in cybersecurity, performed an Information Technology (IT) Security Risk Assessment that evaluated the effectiveness of MIAXdx's existing security controls.
- Internal Controls: MIAXdx has undergone an audit of our internal controls (technically known as a SOC I Type II Audit) to ensure that they are operating effectively and appropriately protecting client data.
- Onsite IT systems: Every year, the CFTC examines one aspect of our operations with a special emphasis. Last year, this examination covered our onsite systems and safeguards.
Market Operations
MIAXdx currently does not list any products, but is open for withdrawals and viewing historical activity.
| Available for Trading | Dollars and crypto available for trading. The amount of dollars and crypto locked in open orders are a subset of the Available for Trading balance. You can use the same dollars and crypto against multiple open orders. |
| Position Locked | The amount of dollars and crypto locked-in positions. When you close out of a short position, your locked dollars or crypto (BTC/ETH) for that position will be unlocked and moved into Available for Trading. |
| Open Orders | Collateral for an open order remains in available balances until filled or canceled. If the order is filled, then that collateral will move into position-locked funds. You can view all open orders at the bottom of your dashboard under the “open orders” tab. |
Note: Withdrawing Funds that are tied to an open order will cancel open orders.
Available funds for withdrawal include your order funds. If you have open orders and request a withdrawal for your full Available balance, your open orders will be canceled when you submit the withdrawal.
