Blockchain.com has launched its API trading offering, expanding its prime brokerage capabilities for financial institutions seeking access to digital asset liquidity through automated execution.
The new offering is built on Blockchain.com’s existing institutional infrastructure and provides institutional clients with 24/7 electronic access to the firm’s principal liquidity across cryptocurrencies and stablecoins through a single API.
Blockchain.com says API trading works in tandem with its existing OTC services, allowing clients to execute directly with the company rather than through multiple venues.
According to the firm, eligible clients can trade without pre-funding and choose settlement schedules to align with their operational needs.
Speaking on the launch, Marc Sischka, global head of OTC trading at Blockchain.com, says: “Institutional participation in digital assets is becoming more sophisticated, and trading infrastructure needs to evolve alongside it.
“By making our principal liquidity available through an API, we're giving clients greater control over how they trade while maintaining the flexibility and personalised service that have long been the core strengths of our institutional trading desk.”
