Our take
SFOX (San Francisco Open Exchange) is a cryptocurrency prime dealer that enables traders to access global crypto markets with one account. Unlike the wealthy consumer-facing products for private trading, SFOX focuses on professional traders and institutional investors, offering higher returns when trading large volumes.
Rather than acting as an exchange in its own right, SFOX helps high-volume traders to buy and sell orders by executing them through its integrations with over 30 cryptocurrency exchanges. Despite the current downturn in crypto markets following the FTX collapse, SFOX is seeing an increase in business as institutional traders seek safer and more tax-compliant ways to navigate the digital assets marketplace.
SFOX was part of Y Combinator's 2014 batch and is led by an experienced team of operators. It has not been shy about attracting talent from top institutions, especially targeting engineering and legal professionals to further develop its product and ensure compliance with increasing regulations in the crypto space.
