Overview
Flowdesk provides a full set of digital asset trading services and technology connecting with 140+ centralized and decentralized exchanges to offer market making, OTC trading, custody, brokerage, treasury management, and related services. Its Market-Making-as-a-Service lets token issuers and institutions share liquidity management while Flowdesk charges a service fee rather than taking trading profits. This approach delivers scalable, capital-efficient liquidity for issuers, banks, ETFs, VCs, and foundations, with adoption by Grayscale and Societe Generale Forge. The company aims to expand globally and grow crypto credit and derivatives offerings, while expanding regulatory coverage to serve thousands of issuers and institutions.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Flowdesk launched an institutional Credit Desk in February 2026, deepening OTC monetization.
- August 2026 VARA full license unlocks Dubai broker-dealer services for institutions.
- 2025–2026 financing, including BlackRock-backed debt and Two Prime credit, funds expansion.
What critics are saying
- Crypto market-making margins compress fast; Binance, Wintermute, and GSR squeeze Flowdesk pricing.
- Bitcoin-secured borrowing and BlackRock debt expose Flowdesk to collateral shocks during sharp selloffs.
- A single trading, custody, or compliance failure could trigger license loss in France or Dubai.
What makes Flowdesk unique
- Flowdesk’s June and August 2026 MiCA and VARA licenses separate it from unlicensed rivals.
- Its integrated spot, derivatives, and credit desks share one trading stack across venues.
- Societe Generale FORGE and Grayscale ties validate Flowdesk’s institutional market-making model.

Participants include Bullish, Keyrock, BitGo, FalconX, G-20, Flowdesk, JPEG Trading, Sentient Capital, Andes, and 2Square.

Blueprint Finance has expanded its ecosystem with new financial primitives, including AssetCX and concUSD. The round brings together investors spanning venture capital, institutional trading, custody, and liquidity provision. CEO Nic Roberts-Huntley stated the strategic partners operate at the centre of digital asset markets, providing expertise across liquidity, execution, and distribution.
OpenEden has closed a funding round backed by trading firms, venture capital funds, blockchain networks, and institutional infrastructure providers. The company will use the capital to scale its tokenization platform and expand its suite of tokenised US Treasurys. Investors include Ripple, Lightspeed Faction, Gate Ventures, FalconX, Anchorage Digital Ventures, Flowdesk, P2 Ventures, Selini Capital, Kaia Foundation, and Sigma Capital. The firm's core offerings are TBILL, a tokenised US Treasury fund, and USDO, a yield-bearing stablecoin backed by Treasurys. OpenEden is also developing tokenised bond exposure, a multi-strategy yield token, and structured offerings. In August, BNY Mellon was appointed custodian and investment manager for the Treasurys underlying TBILL.
Printr, a Lisbon-based cross-chain token launchpad, raised $4.5 million across two funding rounds in 2025. The pre-seed round of $2.5 million was led by Axelar Foundation and Sui Foundation, with participation from Sfermion, Draper Dragon, and Bitscale Capital. A $2 million seed extension followed, bringing in Mantle EcoFund, Mirana Ventures, L1 Digital, and others. The platform allows token creators to launch simultaneously across eight blockchains, including Solana, Base, BNB Chain, and Ethereum. Printr is the first project incubated by Bybit Venture Studio and has partnerships with Mantle and Byreal. Its V2 release introduced configurable fee models, anti-rug protection features, and Proof of Belief staking, which lets community members stake tokens on projects and earn trading fees. The platform charges a 1% fee on bonding curve swaps.
