What We Do
Bitnomial is building the next generation of U.S. derivatives infrastructure.
We are a regulated exchange and clearinghouse offering bitcoin futures and options under full oversight of the CFTC. By combining the transparency and safeguards of traditional finance with the efficiency of digital assets, Bitnomial brings institutional trust and accessibility to crypto-native markets. We operate as a Designated Contract Market (DCM), Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO), and Future's Commission Merchant, with end-to-end regulatory compliance and robust risk management built into every layer of our technology.
From our headquarters in Chicago—a historic center of commodity and financial derivatives—we’re reimagining what’s possible in crypto trading and clearing. We believe the next generation of financial products will be built on-chain, and we are building the secure, regulated rails to power that future.
Why Work With Us
Join a small, sharp team building regulated crypto markets from the ground up. At Bitnomial, you’ll solve meaningful problems in trading, clearing, and infrastructure. We move fast, build thoughtfully, and value impact over ego.
