Flow Traders Launches 24/7 OTC Liquidity for Tokenised Assets | LeapRate | Online Trading Industry News, Broker Intelligence & Fintech Analysis
Flow Traders has launched a digital-assets OTC offering providing 24/7 two-way liquidity for tokenised money-market funds, equities and commodities, including Franklin Templeton’s BENJI and Tether Gold.
The firm said the move reflects rising institutional demand to trade tokenised assets outside traditional market hours.
The company noted that secondary-market activity for tokenised equities and commodities has grown across overnight and weekend sessions, creating a need for continuous liquidity and improved execution frameworks.
Chief executive Thomas Spitz stated that tokenisation could represent “one of the next major steps” in market-structure evolution, adding that activity in some large-cap U.S. stocks had at times reached 2–3 percent of notional volumes in tokenised and synthetic markets.
Through the OTC platform, counterparties can hedge tokenised equity and commodity exposures using fiat or stablecoins, with risk controls designed for out-of-hours trading. Connectivity is available via FIX, OMS/EMS systems, ECNs or high-touch channels.
Paolo Ardoino, chief executive of Tether, noted that demand for gold in both traditional and on-chain markets had accelerated, highlighting the role of liquidity providers in supporting assets such as XAU₮.
“Supporting XAU₮ across multiple exchanges and through their OTC desk helps strengthen the market structure around digital representations of physical gold,” he said.
Flow Traders said asset coverage would expand in line with demand, regulatory requirements and supported venues, with availability varying by jurisdiction.
