Gold-i Strengthens the Crypto Trading Ecosystem

Crypto Switch by Gold-i provides a tested institutional solution for utilizing and distributing crypto liquidity. Integrated with numerous crypto market makers and exchanges, it ensures tight spreads, low latency and deep liquidity.

Tom Higgins, the Founder & CEO of Gold-i, holds Hidden Road in high regard, citing its instrumental role across traditional and digital assets. Higgins also highlighted how Hidden Road has developed an effective ecosystem in the crypto world. By offering segregated functions like prime brokerage, clearing, and financing, the firm aids counterparties in risk mitigation.

"We are delighted to have integrated our Crypto SwitchTM with Hidden Road's API," Higgins commented. "Institutional digital asset adoption continues to grow and Hidden Road has a compelling offering, with impressive connectivity and a formidable pool of OTC Market Makers providing deep liquidity."

Echoing this sentiment, Michael Higgins, the Global Head of Business Development at Hidden Road (unrelated to Tom Higgins), expressed the firm's continual focus on providing robust tools across traditional and digital asset classes.

Six Years of Goldi's Crypto Switch Operations

The fintech firm presented the Crypto Switch solutions to enable access to leading crypto exchanges and liquidity providers back in October 2017. A year later, it announced the next generation of its product, offering a physical clearing of cryptocurrencies .

Since then, the solution has benefited many contracts for difference (CFDs) brokers and financial firms. Among them were companies such as B2C2 and Blockfills. In 2022, Tom Higgins' firm collaborated with Binance to improve liquidity. Currently, the platform offers market liquidity from nearly 20 cryptocurrency service providers.

During an exclusive interview last year, Finance Magnates spoke with Higgins, summarizing 30 years of his activity in the market. As he admitted, the FX/CFD industry has significantly changed, and there is an increasing emphasis on the cryptocurrency offering.

"Crypto Switch™ is Gold-i's platform for financial institutions wishing to access deep and diverse crypto liquidity with a fully cleared solution. We launched the first iteration of this product in 2017 and have invested in and evolved it ever since. It's a very different product now from when we first launched it," Higgins commented.

Higgins summarized that Gold-i would continue to develop in the direction of the institutional crypto liquidity business.
