In 2022, crypto has proven itself to be a strong store of value with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) proving themselves to be strong financial instruments. The idea of cryptocurrency has thus become increasingly attractive to hedge funds and other traditional financial (TradFi) institutions. These increased interest levels come with greater responsibilities, however.
Regulatory authorities continually examine financial institutions, and they are obligated to answer to their clients. Thus, exchanges with high liquidity and a reputation for security and transparency are preferred. In 2022 and beyond, these factors make Gate.io the ideal exchange for institutional clients.
Gate.io Institutional Services (GIS)
Gate.io was founded in 2013, making it one of the world’s oldest crypto exchanges. The company provides high-quality and high-return crypto assets to its clients, and is currently ranked among the top 10 exchanges globally based on 24-hour open interest.
Gate.io Institutional Services is one of Gate.io’s primary services and is offered to VIP clients globally. These VIP clients include hedge funds, market makers, high-frequency traders, and other institutional clients. Gate.io is already collaborating with several well-established firms like Tower Research, Banxa, and Nibbio. What does GIS offer its VIP clients? The clients can access co-location opportunities, enabling them to avail low latencies for their trading strategies. Institutions are also supported by high-frequency rates for orders and cancellations offered by GIS.
GIS offers its clients access to over 1,300 tokens and cryptocurrencies, coupled with a complete suite of crypto products for traders such as futures and options, ETFs (Exchange Traded Fund), spot trading, leveraged trading, and quant trading. It also offers its clients trading opportunities in secured lending, yield-driven products, and liquidity mining. A deep liquidity pool backs all of the services offered by GIS. Currently, GIS hosts 10 million users on its platform, with over $12 billion worth of transactions completed every day.
Unique Solutions = Top Results
Gate.io offers its clients bespoke solutions such as over-the-counter (OTC) services and high-volume loans that can be secured across different trading platforms, accounts, and currencies. A variable fee schedule ensures that higher trading volumes result in lower fees, with fees going as low as -0.025% in futures. In addition to all of the products and services mentioned above, Gate.io’s new API and SDK allow brokers to use familiar programming languages to access trading. Brokers can also leverage the API and manage up to 300 sub-accounts.
The level of services offered, along with the suite of products available on a platform, and the liquidity available on a platform to enable smooth trading, will go a long way in determining the level of success when it comes to securing institutional services in crypto. A high level of commitment towards quick execution will also help significantly in securing institutional services.
