On Friday, Caladan announced a strategic partnership with Finery Markets to expand institutional access to digital asset liquidity across 35 countries.
Caladan and Finery Markets Join Forces to Tap OTC Crypto Surge
The move highlights rapid growth in the global over-the-counter (OTC) crypto sector.
It comes after OTC crypto trading volumes surged 112.6 percent in the first half of 2025, according to Finery Markets’ latest review.
The sector also recorded a 57.6 percent increase in total deals, cementing its position as one of the fastest-growing areas of digital finance.
Through the alliance, Finery Markets’ infrastructure will power Caladan’s institutional liquidity offering, enabling access to more than 1,000 digital assets traded across 70 global exchanges.
Together, the firms aim to support a business representing an estimated $170 billion in annual trading volume.
Caladan said the partnership would accelerate its ability to meet growing demand from institutional clients seeking secure and scalable access to crypto markets.
Finery Markets’ technology, known for its focus on operational efficiency and compliance, is expected to play a central role in scaling this liquidity provision.
The expansion reflects a broader shift as institutional investors increasingly move into OTC trading to manage larger transactions away from public exchanges, reducing market impact and improving execution quality.
Both companies described the tie-up as a step towards strengthening infrastructure for global digital asset markets.
