Capability

Crypto Trading Support

Institutional-grade execution through OTC desks and qualified venues.

What this covers

The work, in substance

Executing size in crypto is a discipline of its own — the wrong venue can cost more than a year of advisory fees on a single trade. We source liquidity through OTC desks and qualified venues at spreads benchmarked to spot.

Every trade is documented, every settlement is to a custodian you control.

Considerations

Risks we address

The non-obvious factors we explicitly plan for so they don't surface as surprises later.

Slippage

Trade size is matched to venue depth; large tickets routed OTC.

Counterparty risk

Only desks meeting our credit screen are used; no bilateral risk left open.

Settlement risk

Atomic or escrowed settlement preferred over net-of-fee structures.

Record integrity

Trade and settlement evidence is archived from day one for audit.

In Practice

An anonymised example

Scenario

A treasury wanted to acquire a $5M BTC position without moving the screen. We sourced OTC quotes from three desks, executed inside one bp of mid, and settled directly to multi-sig custody on the same day.

Results
  • Execution within 1bp of spot reference
  • Same-day settlement to qualified multi-sig custody
  • Clean trade and settlement records archived

FAQ

Common questions

Primarily BTC, ETH, and a short list of large-cap tokens with deep institutional liquidity. We do not execute in illiquid speculative tokens regardless of client interest.
