The Infrastructure Behind the Everything Brokerage
The Infrastructure Behind the Everything Brokerage

Institutional digital asset activity now extends beyond cryptocurrencies to stablecoins, tokenised deposits, funds and conventional securities represented digitally. Banks, asset managers and investment platforms entering these markets need systems that connect these new investment products with familiar trading, risk and settlement processes. Talos provides technology and data for institutional digital asset trading and portfolio management. Its platform connects clients with their chosen venues and service providers for price discovery, execution, risk, treasury and settlement. It operates behind the scenes empowering banks, brokerages and asset managers to add digital assets to their offerings without having to rebuild their existing platforms. Samar Sen, Senior Vice President and Head of International Markets at Talos, expects more institutions to enter the sector as investment providers continue to add support for new digital assets and markets move towards longer trading hours. For private wealth firms, he believes the question is whether digital assets can be incorporated into the wider client relationship rather than being left on a separate platform or worse, unsupported and forcing clients to work with unproven external providers.

The Perpification of Everything: What Brokers Need to Offer Perps

Ten years ago, the perpetual swap was introduced. BitMEX wanted to offer leveraged bitcoin exposure without expiries, delivery or a settlement calendar, so it listed a future that never settles and used a funding payment to hold it near spot. This innovation is now the dominant way crypto trades, and it is starting to appear across real-world assets.
