How to Orchestrate Workflows Across the Entire Digital Assets Trading Lifecycle

Institutions face unique challenges in the world of digital assets that can impede operational efficiency and introduce risk. Unlike traditional asset classes, the digital asset space is characterized by fragmented liquidity, a lack of interoperability standards, and rudimentary trading tools not designed for institutions. This shortfall creates a barrier to entry for institutions accustomed to a higher standard of trading tools and analytics.

Setting up a digital asset trading operation involves navigating a labyrinth of liquidity sources, service providers, and technology build requirements. Digital asset liquidity is spread across numerous exchanges, OTC desks and platforms, each with its own nuances and protocols, which creates an obstacle to achieving best execution and end-to-end trade lifecycle management.  

The Talos trading platform was developed to address these challenges and to streamline the orchestration of workflows among service providers and across the entire digital asset trade lifecycle:

Pre-Trade: Aggregate liquidity from multiple sources into a single order book, allowing you to view and access the best prices across your addressable markets. Additionally, Talos enables the construction of synthetic markets (combining crypto spot, derivatives and FX) through the use of multi-leg strategies.

Trade: Use advanced algorithms, order types and smart order routing to achieve best execution, while in-flight analytics measures your execution quality against standard benchmarks.

Post-Trade: Transaction cost analysis (TCA) allows you to demonstrate best execution and identify opportunities to improve your execution strategy. View and manage your balances across exchanges, credit across dealers and positions across custodians.

Fast track your time to market and reduce your operational costs with Talos.
