About D2X

At D2X we strive to become the first regulated derivatives exchange for the digital asset industry in Europe. Our mission is to bridge the gap between Tech and Finance and to facilitate institutional adoption of digital assets through derivatives. We recently raised our seed funding round, and we are looking for exceptional talents with an entrepreneurial drive and an interest in the digital asset space to join our fast-growing team.
