As demand for more advanced strategies in digital asset markets continues to grow, institutions require more than just swift execution—they need sophisticated tools to optimize capital and refine their trading strategies, according to Flowdesk’s U.S. CEO.

Flowdesk, a prominent market maker in the digital asset space, has launched a new institutional credit desk, significantly expanding its services to meet the needs of traditional financial players seeking more efficient ways to deploy and access capital within the cryptocurrency market.

As institutions increasingly seek structured credit products to manage liquidity, hedge risks, and generate yield across various trading venues, Flowdesk’s new credit desk integrates lending, borrowing, and structured credit solutions into the company’s existing OTC and liquidity services.

“Efficient execution is only part of the equation for institutions in the digital asset space,” stated Reed Werbitt, Flowdesk’s U.S. CEO and Chief Revenue Officer. “They require the tools to unlock capital and build strategies with precision. This new desk is designed to support those needs and help institutions navigate the complexities of the market.”

The launch of the credit desk follows closely on the heels of Flowdesk’s successful $100 million fundraising round, which is being used to expand its workforce and develop an OTC derivatives trading desk.

“Flowdesk is committed to providing institutional-grade trading solutions for the digital asset ecosystem,” said Guilhem Chaumont, co-founder and Global CEO of Flowdesk. “Our new Credit Desk is an important step toward offering advanced digital asset strategies and comprehensive risk management solutions to a wider range of institutional clients.”

Flowdesk’s expansion is also in line with the growing institutional interest in digital assets in the U.S. and the White House’s regulatory support for the industry.

The company has long been bullish on the potential of U.S. markets. In 2023, during a time when many crypto firms were looking to move operations abroad amid regulatory challenges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Flowdesk opted to expand its U.S. office. Chaumont emphasized that the size and sophistication of U.S. capital markets justified the decision, positioning Flowdesk for long-term success in the region.
