“Legitimate and well-structured crypto dark pools are a super-important factor in driving institutional adoption,” says Chris Thomas, Head of Digital Asset at Swissquote, Switzerland’s leading online bank in FX and crypto. “SFOX’s dark pool represents the newest step in the company’s mission to bring the most advanced trading tools to the rapidly maturing crypto sector.”
In the case of current market infrastructures, traders can only get fills at a single venue and are limited to the liquidity and price provided by their marketplace. With the addition of SFOX’s Dark Pool, sophisticated investors and traders can now, for the first time in crypto, trade only in a dark pool environment or have orders route across the largest crypto exchanges, OTC providers, and SFOX’s dark pool to get the best price. For public smart routing orders, SFOX’s advanced orders will route trades across all liquidity venues to seek the best price, while keeping any hidden portions of an order in the dark pool.
