Blockchain.com has become a liquidity partner on TP ICAP’s Fusion Digital Assets, operating within the venue’s newly launched matched principal trading framework.
The move makes Blockchain.com one of the first firms to trade through the model, adding to a growing institutional ecosystem that includes brokers, liquidity providers, asset managers and trading firms.
The partnership gives Fusion Digital Assets participants access to deeper liquidity across Bitcoin, Ether and XRP through Blockchain.com’s institutional offering.
It comes as digital asset and traditional financial markets continue to converge, with established crypto firms seeking wider distribution through trusted institutional venues. TP ICAP said the addition supports plans to develop new products, including stablecoins and tokenised assets.
Fusion Digital Assets’ matched principal model allows participants to trade without prefunding, with TP ICAP acting as an investment grade credit intermediary.
The structure is designed to improve capital efficiency and reduce operational complexity, bringing digital asset trading closer in line with traditional market standards.
Marc Sischka, Vice President, Global Head of OTC Trading at Blockchain.com, said the partnership reflected the firm’s goal of bringing institutional capital into digital asset markets.
Chay Pollard, Director of Digital Assets E Broking at TP ICAP, said Blockchain.com’s global reach and liquidity would strengthen the venue’s institutional client base.
The matched principal launch also broadens the assets traded on the platform, adding support for stablecoins such as USDC, expanding cryptoasset coverage to include SOL, and introducing additional fiat currency pairs. Operating hours will extend to continuous weekday trading, with weekend coverage planned.
This follows a record 2025 for Fusion Digital Assets, which surpassed $1 billion in monthly notional volume across its Bitcoin and Ether order books.
