Flow Traders opens 24/7 OTC desk

Flow Traders announced the launch on March 19, 2026 through its Digital Asset OTC platform, naming the service an institutional, permissioned 24/7 OTC offering. (flowtraders.com) The initial product list cited Franklin Templeton’s BENJI on‑chain money‑market fund and Tether Gold (XAU₮) and covered tokenized money‑market funds, equities and commodities, with the company saying asset coverage will expand based on counterparty demand, regulation and venue support. (euronext.com) Counterparties are offered direct FIX connectivity, OMS/EMS integration, ECN access or high‑touch OTC execution, with Flow Traders quoting proprietary two‑way prices and stating counterparties can trade and hedge tokenized exposures settled in fiat or stablecoins. (marketwatch.com) Flow Traders’ prior integration with Copper’s ClearLoop/Copper Network — announced in July 2024 — is positioned to provide custodian‑agnostic OTC settlement and post‑trade workflows, and the partnership paper cited the ability to allocate funds to exchanges “in less than 100ms.” (marketsmedia.com) Flow Traders framed the move as building on a digital‑asset strategy active since 2017 and has been linked in market notices to 24/7 trading partnerships such as Dinari’s pooled settlement network for tokenized U.S. equities announced in December 2025. (flowtraders.com) (dinari.com) Industry infrastructure providers and analyst pieces note that ‘always‑on’ OTC and venue connectivity shifts require proximity/cloud deployments and specialist vendor stacks to maintain low‑latency, continuous operations — vendor briefs reference proximity‑cloud and exchange‑adjacent footprints as the recommended architecture for 24/7 market access.
