Institutional traders using Trading Technologies’ platform can now reach crypto markets on Bitstamp by Robinhood without leaving their existing workflow.
The new connection brings Bitstamp’s spot and derivatives markets into TT’s multi-asset environment, alongside the futures, fixed income and FX products clients already trade. Firms gain access to the platform’s risk controls and unified post-trade workflows, which the companies say are aimed at institutions expanding their crypto activity, especially in Asia-Pacific and North America.
The link is also a first of sorts. TT is the first major traditional-markets order and execution management system to connect directly to Bitstamp, which has largely been reached through crypto-native trading platforms until now.
“Institutional trading desks want to access digital assets through TT with the execution tools, connectivity, workflows and risk controls they already use across other TradFi markets,” said Tomo Tokuyama, EVP and managing director, FX at TT. “Our integration with Bitstamp by Robinhood brings crypto-native spot and perpetual futures liquidity directly into the TT workflow alongside crypto derivatives, enabling clients to manage execution across asset classes from a single, familiar environment while maintaining the execution, risk management and operational efficiencies they rely on across their broader trading operations.”
For Bitstamp, the deal continues its expansion of institutional distribution partners, said Nicola White, VP of institutional crypto and GM of Bitstamp by Robinhood.
“TT extends our venue to a global network of sophisticated institutional traders, proprietary desks and buy-side firms,” White said.
The companies also plan to collaborate on joint educational initiatives and industry events to support institutional adoption of digital assets.
