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, and is connected to numerous trading venues. In 2022, Keyrock raised $72 million in investment which will aid its infrastructure and scalability tool development and fund its search for regulatory licenses across Europe, Singapore, and the US.
