More than half of the largest buy-side institutions are engaging in crypto

Talos’s Co-Founder and CEO Anton Katz recently joined The Scoop podcast, hosted by Frank Chaparro. Anton shared trends in institutional adoption of digital assets and how Talos is positioned to support institutions in trading crypto and beyond.

Here are three key takeaways from Anton Katz:

More than half of the largest buy-side institutions are engaging in crypto

• “The bitcoin and etheruem ETH approval earlier this year has been the biggest signal to institutions that the tide is changing. More than half of the largest quantitative asset managers and buy-side institutions we are talking to are engaging with crypto. Talos is working with a significant number of those companies.”

Institutions’ need for diversification will grow beyond BTC and ETH

• “Over the next two years, we'll see more assets outside of bitcoin and ether become established, as many institutions will likely look at a deeper bench of assets before trading.”

Talos believes traditional assets will migrate to digital asset infrastructure

• “We are in conversation with our partners and investors about the migration of traditional assets to digital assets; credit and funds will likely move first. Talos plans to serve as a conduit, powering the trading of traditional assets on digital asset platforms.”
