FBX is building the first trading venue for European textile fibres — spot and forward contracts on ten benchmarked materials, settled against verifiable Digital Product Passport data.
Brands hedge raw-material exposure. Mills find buyers without the broker stack. We're assembling the founding cohort now — and we want it designed by the people who'll actually trade on it.
Linen never has. Wool clears through a century-old auction in Sydney. Cashmere settles bilaterally over WhatsApp. Recycled polyester clears on spreadsheets and trust.
The reason is simple: without verifiable, standardised data, you cannot have a market. Buyers and sellers can't price what they can't trust.
From 2027, every textile sold in the EU must carry verifiable composition, origin, and traceability data. FBX uses that data as the contract specification — making fabric tradeable as a true commodity for the first time.
Built the way every other commodity market is built — order book, transparent pricing, central clearing — with one addition no other venue has: settlement backed by verified passport data.
Real-time bid and ask. Anonymous matching. Minimum lot one tonne. The book is open, the spread is tight, the price is public.
Buy spot for immediate procurement. Lock forward prices one to twelve months out to hedge raw-material exposure.
Every physical lot carries a Digital Product Passport at settlement — composition, origin, certifications, traceable to the bale.
Physical settlement to a bonded warehouse network, or cash settlement against the FBX benchmark. No counterparty risk.
The pieces exist in isolation — a cotton futures contract here, a sourcing directory there, compliance software everywhere. Nobody has put them together into a market.
Lock fibre prices ahead of the season. Stop letting cotton spikes, wool shortages, or rPET swings blow your material budget.
Skip the broker stack. Post lots into a real order book and let the best bid find your inventory. Verified buyers, clean settlement.
European textile fibres sit largely uncorrelated with equities and most commodities. Add fabric exposure to the book.
This is a 90-second questionnaire. Your answers shape which contracts we list first, who we partner with, and how the venue works.
Founding cohort perk: priority access at launch + a 12-month fee waiver for approved participants.
We'll be in touch as we move toward launch. Founding-cohort respondents get priority access and a 12-month fee waiver.
