DeFinity Markets, the first full-stack institutional digital asset matching and settlement platform for fiat and crypto, has integrated Fireblocks, the enterprise platform for building blockchain applications and managing digital asset operations, to facilitate safe storage and transactions for select API clients.
Fireblocks’ cutting-edge security infrastructure, combined with DeFinity’s advanced order matching and settlement capabilities across FX and digital assets, lets users trade seamlessly with minimal friction. By leveraging Fireblocks, DeFinity can ensure institutional clients can execute trades with enhanced transparency, security, and ease.
DeFinity Markets is regarded as the institutional standard in digital assets trading and fiat rails. DeFinity is built on institutional-grade technology offering unprecedented digital assets market access to globally leading financial institutions that are seeking to diversify their portfolios.
The DeFinity management team has applied decades of knowledge of traditional financial markets to create the DeFinity ECN with direct market access.
Secure and efficient digital assets trading
Michael Shaulov, CEO of Fireblocks, said: “We are excited to support DeFinity Markets as they leverage our infrastructure to enhance the security and efficiency of their digital asset operations. With our infrastructure in place, DeFinity’s API clients can trade with confidence and ease, knowing their transactions are backed by the best security out there.”
The seamless integration of Fireblocks’ and DeFinity Markets’ services underpins the companies’ mutual dedication to helping clients achieve their digital assets and fiat requirements efficiently, the companies said last week.
Manu Choudhary, CEO of DeFinity Markets, said: “We are delighted to work with Fireblocks as it fits well into our strategic vision and roadmap of providing PB credit intermediated trading services for digital asset clients in the TradFi space.”
Simplified digital assets transfers
This integration further solidifies both companies’ commitment to supporting clients in meeting their digital asset and fiat requirements with efficiency and security. Fireblocks’ advanced network capabilities simplify digital asset transfers by streamlining wallet address management, significantly reducing the risk of manual entry errors.
Michael Siwek, co-founder of DeFinity Markets, concluded: “This ongoing collaboration is very timely given our group company’s recent Jersey VASP status and the full launch of digital assets on the island. We will be working closely with Fireblocks to deliver a suite of products to our future PB clients transacting crypto currencies.”
Digital assets custody solutions
As the custodian landscape evolves, the demand for qualified custody among institutional market participants continues to grow. The Fireblocks Trust Company is poised to offer the most secure, bank-grade cold storage solution, ensuring the highest level of protection for digital assets and supporting the growth of the U.S. digital asset ecosystem.
TrustCo allows Fireblocks to offer clients the flexibility to choose between traditional bank-backed cold storage and Fireblocks-backed physical cold storage, ensuring the highest level of security for their assets. Fireblocks’ cold storage custody solution meets New York Banking Law regulatory requirements, as well as the SEC’s Custody Rule, to provide comprehensive compliance and peace of mind for institutional clients.
