Global algorithmic trading firm Wintermute has completed its first Request for Quote (RFQ) trade on Finery Markets' institutional crypto trading platform. The partnership establishes a hybrid trading model combining traditional order books with RFQ capabilities for institutional clients

Wintermute Executes First RFQ Trade on Finery Markets' Crypto ECN Platform

The execution establishes Finery Markets as the only cryptocurrency-native Electronic Communication Network (ECN) offering both RFQ and traditional order book trading mechanisms for institutional clients. This model aims to combine the transparency of order-driven systems with the liquidity benefits of quote-driven trading.

“Wintermute was a top choice for introducing the RFQ trading method through our ECN,” Konstantin Shulga, Finery Markets CEO, commented. “With the launch of RFQ, we are confident that our unique hybrid trading model offers the best of both worlds, combining the transparency and execution certainty of order-driven systems with the deep liquidity and minimal market impact characteristic of quote-driven models.”

RFQ is a trading process where market participants request price quotes from specific liquidity providers for a particular financial instrument. The quote is executable exclusively by the requesting party, creating a direct interaction between the buyer and seller.

The partnership comes amid substantial growth in over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency trading, with Finery Markets reporting an 89% year-over-year increase in spot transactions during the first nine months of 2024.

"By combining our extensive liquidity solutions across hundreds of digital assets with Finery’s ECN, we’re well positioned to support market participants in achieving higher quality trading and more efficient execution,” Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy added.

The collaboration leverages Wintermute'spresence in digital asset markets, where it maintains trading relationships across more than 60 exchanges and processes billions in daily volume. Since July, the company is offering more than 350 crypto pairs to traditional financethanks to the integration of oneZero's EcoSystem.

Institutional Crypto Trading Explodes in 2024

The institutional over-the-counter (OTC) cryptocurrency market witnessed substantial growth in the first half of 2024, with total spot transaction volumes increasing by 95% year-over-year. A recent report from Finery Markets, which analyzed two million institutional spot trades, indicates a rising interest in digital assets among institutional investors. This growth coincides with the recent approval of crypto-based investment vehicles, such as the successful launch of a Bitcoin ETF.

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, saw its trading volumes increase by 32% in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Anticipated approvals of Ethereum ETFs are likely to stimulate institutional interest further.

Additionally, the provider of non-custodial crypto ECN and SaaS trading platforms, announced a partnership with technology and digital asset liquidity provider Stillman Digital. This collaboration aims to expand Finery Markets' network of global liquidity providers and enhance trading options for institutional clients.
