Finery Markets has announced the digital assets prime broker and exchange, Bequant, as its latest partner, with the company using its new FM Liquidity Match service.
FM Liquidity Match, introduced in April 2023, is “a service that gives institutional market players and crypto businesses access to OTC institutional crypto liquidity across 150+ crypto-to-crypto and fiat-to-crypto pairs via prime brokers such as Bequant.”
The service facilitates “the easier navigation of the complex world of crypto trading for large market players, and as Finery Markets’ newest partner, Bequant will now be connecting them with different crypto liquidity providers available through the new service.”
FM Liquidity Match was “built on technology developed in-house at Finery Markets, based on the requirements of brokers, and as such provides a host of tools and services to manage institutional crypto transactions and follow trading activity more effectively.”
Bequant will now “utilize FM Liquidity Match technology and liquidity, leveraging its client relationships to offer an OTC prime brokerage service, ensuring it is able to expand its product portfolio and add OTC liquidity to its current prime brokerage services.”
The new service “was launched due to an expectation in the industry that institutional market players will be moving towards using prime-brokerage services, due to them being less risky, cheaper and more convenient.”
This new technology will now “help those companies that are looking to launch and/or expand their OTC prime brokerage.”
George Zarya, founder and CEO of Bequant said:
“At Bequant, we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Finery Markets, as we take the best of the FX trading infrastructure and apply it to the world of crypto. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients.”

“We’re delighted to provide Bequant’s customers the opportunity to leverage DV Chain’s world class pricing and execution services. This ensures that their users experience less slippage, mitigated market impact, and a variety of flexible options for trade settlements.
