While representatives of both companies refuse to comment on the situation, however, if the partnership information is confirmed, 11 million TD Ameritrade customers will receive access to spot cryptocurrency trading.

Thus, the company will become one of the first large brokers to provide retail traders with access to digital currencies as an independent asset, and will be able to compete with the Robinhood.

Last October, ErisX attracted investments from TD Ameritrade to launch a regulated exchange of Bitcoin derivatives, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin.

Two months later, it became known that ErisX successfully closed a $ 27.5 million round of financing for Series B, which included Bitmain, ConsenSys, Fidelity Investments, Nasdaq Ventures, Monex Group Inc., CTC Group Investments, Digital Currency Group, DRW Venture Capital, Pantera Capital and Valor Equity Partners.

Recall that in the beginning of the year, Ethereum co-founder and blockhead of ConsenSys startup Joseph Lubin joined the board of directors of ErisX.
