Salary benchmarks
Our take
Digital assets and cryptocurrencies have huge potential; but the fragmented nature of the space, atop a lack of regulated infrastructure, results in poor liquidity – discouraging their adoption. Keyrock deploys scalable, adaptive algorithms for its clients to create unique financial markets for digital assets, an integral part of bringing liquidity to the space.
Keyrock is a leading global liquidity partner for digital assets, securing this position through a focus on data excellence and scalability. The company offers market making services, building the financial foundation for token economies, alongside offering businesses and individuals access to vetted digital asset spot markets.
Keyrock has seen substantial investment and support from industry experts, allowing it to accelerate development. It has leveraged funding to scale tool development and accelerate its search for regulatory licenses across Europe, Singapore, and the US, and in 2026 acquired fija in order to grow its onchain reach.
