Crypto Finance and Talos Enhance Institutional Access to Regulated Digital Assets

New York/Zurich, March 26, 2025 — Crypto Finance, part of Deutsche Börse Group, is enhancing institutional access to digital asset markets through an integration with Talos, the leading provider of institutional trading and portfolio technology for digital assets. This collaboration allows banks, brokers, and other financial institutions to seamlessly connect to Crypto Finance’s robust liquidity via the Talos platform, helping to ensure best execution and regulatory alignment.

In January 2025, Crypto Finance became one of the first companies in Europe to receive a MiCAR license, reinforcing its commitment to delivering regulatory security and efficiency to institutional investors. As a trusted partner for institutional clients, Crypto Finance AG now provides Talos users with competitive pricing across a broad range of digital assets.

Talos offers institutional clients cutting-edge trading solutions, including smart order routing, algorithmic execution, and access to various liquidity venues for spot and derivatives, including DeFi exchanges, OTC desks, and derivatives exchanges. This integration strengthens the connection between traditional finance (TradFi) and digital assets by offering institutions seamless access to a growing market in compliance with regulatory standards.

“Our integration with Crypto Finance enhances our capacity to offer Talos’s clients access to liquidity sources that are compliant with local regulations such as MiCA in Europe,” said Daniel Packham, VP and Head of EMEA Operations. “By connecting Crypto Finance’s liquidity to the Talos platform, we are further empowering our clients to meet their best execution obligations.”

“By integrating with Talos, we are enhancing our ability to provide institutional clients with superior liquidity, competitive pricing, and a fully regulated environment, ensuring both security and compliance within the rapidly evolving digital asset market,” said Mike Schwitalla, Head of Clients and Market Access at Crypto Finance AG.

This integration sets a new benchmark for professional digital asset trading, offering institutional market participants a regulated, cost-efficient, and high-performance trading solution. With the MiCAR license granted to Crypto Finance AG in January 2025, institutional investors are assured of regulatory security and operational efficiency, paving the way for a secure and transparent market infrastructure for digital assets.
