tradias Delivers Regulated Crypto Liquidity to Institutional Traders via Talos

Frankfurt, London, April 30, 2024 – tradias GmbH, one of Europe's leading trading firms specializing in cryptocurrency trading and digital asset services, announced an integration with Talos, the premier provider of institutional trading technology for digital assets, that would deliver the liquidity provision services of tradias to institutional clients through the Talos trading platform. 

As the digital assets arm of the German-licensed and regulated Bankhaus Scheich, whose heritage was originally built in market making on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, tradias provides secure, efficient and regulated trading of digital assets. Talos, which was founded by engineers experienced in building trading systems for traditional asset classes, offers an advanced digital asset trading platform and connectivity to a provider network of exchanges, OTC desks, custodians and other digital asset service providers. The integration of tradias and Talos expands the choice of regulated liquidity providers for Talos clients.

“We are pleased to integrate with Talos to enable institutions to access the potential of digital assets through its platform,” said Michael Reinhard, CEO of tradias. “Talos and tradias share a foundation that was built in traditional finance, and we share a vision for the future of financial systems that are powered by digital asset technology.”

As institutional adoption of digital assets continues to grow in 2024, and as the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) European regulation comes into effect, the importance of licensed counterparties and best execution will be emphasized. The integration of Talos and tradias offers shared clients a regulated source of liquidity to help them achieve best price execution.

“tradias will be a particularly important source of liquidity for Talos clients who are traditional or regulated institutions, because tradias itself is rooted in a fully regulated, traditional financial institution,” said Anton Katz, CEO and Co-Founder of Talos. “Talos is seeing substantial growth within Europe, and our integration with tradias will help us to continue extending our reach among institutions in the region.”
