Flowdesk Broadens Offerings in Capital Markets with New Credit Desk for Institutional Clients

As institutional interest in digital assets deepens, there’s a growing demand for more than just fast execution; institutions now need the right tools to unlock capital and craft precise strategies, according to Flowdesk’s U.S. CEO.

To meet these needs, market maker Flowdesk has launched a new institutional credit desk, expanding its capabilities in the digital asset markets. This move comes as traditional financial institutions seek more effective ways to deploy capital and access liquidity in the cryptocurrency space.

Institutions are increasingly looking for structured credit products to manage liquidity, hedge exposure, and generate yield across multiple fragmented venues. Flowdesk’s new credit desk aims to meet these demands by seamlessly integrating lending, borrowing, and structured credit into its existing OTC and liquidity infrastructure.

“Efficient execution is just one part of the equation for institutions trading digital assets. They also need the right tools to unlock capital and implement sophisticated strategies,” said Reed Werbitt, U.S. CEO and Chief Revenue Officer of Flowdesk. “Our new desk is designed to provide these tools, allowing institutions to navigate the complexities of the market with precision.”

The launch of this credit desk follows Flowdesk’s successful $100 million funding round, which is being used to expand the team and build out a new OTC derivatives trading desk.

“Flowdesk is dedicated to providing institutional-grade solutions that meet the evolving needs of the digital asset ecosystem,” said Guilhem Chaumont, co-founder and Global CEO of Flowdesk. “The introduction of our Credit Desk aligns with our mission to offer access to advanced strategies and robust risk management tools for a broader range of institutional clients.”

Flowdesk’s expansion comes amid growing interest from U.S. institutions in the digital asset space, with increasing regulatory clarity from the White House.

The company has long been optimistic about the U.S. market. In 2023, despite regulatory challenges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Flowdesk chose to expand its U.S. office, confident in the size and sophistication of the U.S. capital markets.
