In the final segment of our exclusive series featuring interviews with trailblazing fintech companies, as part of our coverage at the prestigious iFX Expo in Limassol, we pivot our attention to the crypto firm Finery Markets.
Established in 2019, this Cyprus-based fintech powerhouse has a dual-pronged business strategy. Firstly, it serves as a marketplace tailored for institutional players operating within the crypto space, connecting them with a diverse array of liquidity providers. Additionally, Finery Markets operates as a versatile platform-as-a-service for brokers, over-the-counter (OTC) desks, and exchanges. This multifaceted platform delivers a comprehensive pre-trade, trade, and post-trade infrastructure meticulously designed to cater to the intricate nuances of crypto markets.
