Caspian, a full-stack crypto trading, portfolio and risk management platform for institutional and sophisticated traders, has partnered with Blockfills, an electronic, off-exchange digital liquidity provider, to provide institutional clients with access to deep liquidity and real-time continuous pricing.
Caspian has added Blockfills to its list of more than 30 major crypto exchanges and liquidity providers with which it currently interfaces.
A significant challenge for traders today is finding the best price for a cryptocurrency when it could be trading on more than 200 exchanges globally. By aggregating the world’s deepest exchange and off-exchange liquidity hubs, Blockfills’ clients save time sourcing liquidity and can obtain larger fills at better prices.
Additionally, Blockfills offers the high-touch support and deep market insight that is unavailable when trading with online exchanges. Blockfills’ clients also enjoy a high-performance FIX API that provides ultra-low-latency connectivity to their servers, which are co-located in leading data centres in New York (NY4), London (LD4) and Tokyo (TY3).
“The Blockfills’ team has a tremendous amount of trading and technology experience, drawing its team from some of the world’s largest banks and brokerage firms,” says Robert Dykes, CEO of Caspian. “They understand the requirements of the institutional market and have built a great solution that helps solve for market fragmentation, which is one of the biggest barriers now to widespread institutional participation in the crypto assets class”.
“We are thrilled to be working with Caspian and share their vision for institutionalising crypto trading,” says Nicholas Hammer, CEO of Blockfills. “Caspian has quickly become the choice for professional traders, and we look forward to helping them serve their rapidly growing client base.”
