Bitvavo, the European cryptocurrency trading platform and the largest euro spot exchange globally, announced its integration with Talos, the provider of institutional trading and portfolio technology for digital assets.
This integration reportedly enables asset managers, hedge funds, market makers, as well as brokers to execute their trading strategies “with access to deep euro liquidity with the support of the Talos technology..”
The latest collaboration between digital assets firm Bitvavo and Talos will aim to support the “institutional demand for MiCA-compliant liquidity in the European digital asset market.”
Founded in Amsterdam, Bitvavo operates under licenses and registrations in key European jurisdictions and is preparing for “authorization under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation through the Dutch Financial Markets Authority.”
Mark Nuvelstijn, CEO of Bitvavo said:
“Bitvavo is committed to providing institutions with a robust and trusted trading environment. Through this integration, we are reinforcing our position as the venue for Euro-denominated crypto, and making this liquidity accessible to our clients through the Talos platform.”
Clients of both firms can connect from the Talos order and execution management system (OEMS) to Bitvavo’s liquidity “across a range of more than 350 crypto and fiat pairs.”
Like the Talos platform, Bitvavo was reportedly designed for “institutional scale and handles over €100 billion in trading volume per year, with 50% market share of all Euro liquidity.”
Frank van Zegveld, Head of EMEA Sales at Talos said:
“Bitvavo stands out in Europe for its regulatory readiness and user-centric approach. With Bitvavo now integrated into our network, our mutual clients benefit from access to deep liquidity in Euros, using advanced execution tools and in compliance with an evolving regulatory landscape.”
The integration with Talos highlights Bitvavo’s continued focus “on building a secure, compliant, and accessible trading environment for digital assets in Europe.”
Established in 2018 in Amsterdam, Bitvavo is Europe’s cryptocurrency trading platform and claims it is the “largest EUR spot exchange globally.”
2 million European retail users reportedly value Bitvavo “for its comprehensive and user-friendly platform, where they can buy, sell, and store more than 350 digital assets at competitive fees.”
Institutional traders are said to appreciate Bitvavo’s reliable platform “for the deep liquidity in more than 350 digital assets.”
Bitvavo is registered with the Dutch Central Bank (DNB).
Talos provides institutional-grade technology that supports the “full digital asset investment lifecycle, including liquidity sourcing, price discovery, trading, settlement and portfolio management.”
Engineered by a team with experience building institutional trading and portfolio systems, the Talos platform connects institutions to “key providers in the digital asset ecosystem – exchanges, OTC desks, prime brokers, lenders, custodians, and more – through a single interface.”
