Hong Kong-based institutional prime broker LTP has partnered with the UK fintech provider Gold-i to broaden distribution of its cryptocurrency and Forex liquidity, as institutional investors increasingly demand unified access to both digital and traditional asset markets.

The partnership connects LTP's liquidity pools to Gold-i's MatrixNET platform, which according to both companies, should allow brokers, hedge funds, family offices and professional traders to access both crypto and FX markets through a single FIX API connection.

LTP Partners With Gold-i to Expand Cross-Asset Liquidity Distribution

LTP has been expanding beyond its core crypto prime brokerage services to include traditional FX and CFD markets. The firm now offers unified market access through partnerships with bridge providers including Gold-i and oneZero, allowing clients to trade across centralized exchanges, decentralized venues, OTC markets and traditional FX through one relationship.

“LTP is supporting FX clients as they expand into digital assets, bridging the gap between traditional and crypto markets,” said Jack Yang, founder and CEO of LTP. “Gold-i's connectivity helps facilitate this process, enabling us to provide secure and scalable access for institutional clients.”

The move reflects growing institutional appetite for seamless cross-asset trading infrastructure. Prime brokers are adapting their technology stacks to accommodate clients who want to trade both digital assets and traditional instruments without maintaining separate relationships and operational frameworks.

Earlier this year, LTP also introduced an Over-the-Counter (OTC) pri platform aimed at institutional clients, providing a broader range of services designed to connect traditional finance with the digital asset market.

Technology Platform Enables Multi-Asset Access

Gold-i's MatrixNET platform serves as the gateway for LTP's institutional clients, providing liquidity aggregation and routing capabilities across asset classes. The system offers consolidated clearing and settlement, reducing operational complexity for clients managing positions across crypto and FX markets.

Tom Higgins, founder and CEO of Gold-i, said the partnership reflects LTP's “particularly impressive track record in crypto” and noted that Gold-i will “play a key role in supporting their growth ambitions in both crypto and FX.”

Higgins noted in an interview with FinanceMagnates.com a year ago that “crypto liquidity and FX liquidity are sort of coming together.”

LTP's infrastructure connects to both centralized and decentralized crypto exchanges alongside traditional FX liquidity pools. The platform provides institutional-grade APIs, low-latency connectivity and support for algorithmic trading strategies across multiple asset types.

Prime Brokerage Market Consolidation

The collaboration highlights how crypto-native prime brokers are expanding into traditional markets while established FX providers add digital asset capabilities. LTP operates across multiple jurisdictions with licenses in Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands, Spain and Australia, positioning itself to serve global institutional clients.

LTP provides end-to-end prime services including trade execution, clearing, settlement, custody and financing across digital assets. The firm has expanded its offerings to include institutional asset management and regulated OTC block trading as institutional adoption of crypto markets grows.

The partnership follows similar moves by other crypto prime brokers seeking to offer multi-asset solutions as institutional clients increasingly view digital assets as part of broader trading portfolios rather than standalone investments.
