The two companies announced the agreement on October 13, 2026. ThinkEquity, an NYSE member firm, will be the first user. It will offer digital asset trading in the same account as stocks and bonds, with institutional pricing and liquidity. Arqitech will embed the Talos platform by the end of 2026, including dealer and API connectivity, pricing, execution, post-trade analytics, and treasury management. The production embed takes effect November 1, 2026. Arqitech does not hold customer assets. They stay with the clearing firm or the qualified custodian.

Arqitech partners with Talos to put institutional digital-asset execution at the core of its platform.

Arqitech partners with Talos to put institutional digital-asset execution at the core of its platform. ThinkEquity, an NYSE member firm, launching with the Arqitech platform to add institutional digital-asset trading under their own name, with Talos as the execution layer. October 13, 2026 08:30 ET | Source: Arqitech, Inc. BOCA RATON, Fla. and NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Arqitech, Inc., which builds the orchestration layer for independent broker-dealers, and Talos, provider of institutional technology and data to support the full digital asset investment lifecycle, today announced an agreement under which Arqitech will embed Talos's technology to support digital-asset execution and settlement inside the platform it offers to broker-dealers. The first user of the integration will be ThinkEquity LLC, an NYSE member firm, to enable digital asset trading in the same account as their stocks and bonds, with institutional pricing and liquidity behind the orders. Clients are starting to expect brokerage accounts to present cash, securities, and digital assets together, with pricing and liquidity at hand. Building connectivity, routing, and a dealer workflow in-house is a long project most small and medium-sized firms will not fund. Arqitech is the orchestration layer. Onboarding, compliance, and reporting are mapped to the introducing firm's written supervisory procedures, and the firm offers the markets under its own name. By the end of 2026, Arqitech will embed the Talos platform, including dealer and API connectivity, for digital-asset liquidity access, pricing, execution, post-trade analytics, and treasury management. Talos already connects institutions to the venues and liquidity providers they choose and its technology supports the trading workflow for banks and broker-dealers. Arqitech will use the robust infrastructure Talos has built so small and medium-sized financial institutions can add digital-asset trading alongside the other markets on the platform, including tokenized securities and regulated prediction markets, without standing up a separate stack for each one. Through Arqitech, ThinkEquity is gaining trading access to crypto, prediction markets, and tokenized assets on one platform, under its own name, with onboarding, compliance, and reporting mapped to its own procedures. Digital-asset pricing, routing, and execution run through the Talos platform. Stocks and bonds stay on the firm's existing order-management and clearing systems. Arqitech does not hold customer assets. Those remain with the clearing firm, or with the qualified custodian, under Rule 15c3-3. "A broker-dealer on our platform keeps the client and the name. What it does not have to build is the connectivity, the pricing, and the dealer workflow for a multi-asset world. We consider Talos the leader in institutional-grade digital-asset technology and we're excited to deliver that functionality to ThinkEquity and its clients," said Brian Wasserman, Chief Executive Officer of Arqitech. "Broker-dealers of every size are being asked to offer digital assets alongside traditional assets," said Anton Katz, CEO and Co-Founder of Talos. "With Talos, Arqitech is giving small and mid-sized firms an easy path to adopting the same execution infrastructure that large institutional trading desks use today for digital assets, without an extensive build." "Clients already want digital assets in the same account as the rest of their assets, and they want institutional pricing behind their trades. The Arqitech platform puts multiple assets under one roof, and Talos delivers the digital asset layer. The Arqitech stack gives us a clear competitive advantage," said Ramnarain "Joe" Jaigobind, Chief Executive Officer of ThinkEquity. Broker-dealers that want a walkthrough of how the flow sits on their written supervisory procedures can contact Arqitech. ABOUT ARQITECH, INC.

Talos's Coin Metrics Data now accessible via Amazon S3 and Snowflake Cloud Delivery.

Talos's Coin Metrics Data now accessible via Amazon S3 and Snowflake Cloud Delivery. September 8, 2026 Product Update: Read whole datasets from your own environment, with 10 datasets published daily as Apache Parquet files in Amazon S3 and as queryable tables in Snowflake. Talos is introducing Cloud Delivery, a new way to access Talos's Coin Metrics Data. Instead of requesting data via the API, clients can now read whole datasets from their own environment, with 10 datasets published daily as Apache Parquet files in Amazon S3 and as queryable tables in Snowflake. Its users' data consumption follows two predominant use cases. The first calls for a specific market over a specific interval, returned on demand. The API serves this use case through targeted queries, real-time streaming and access to the latest observation within milliseconds. The second calls for an entire dataset to be resident in the user's own environment, where it can be scanned repeatedly across successive pieces of analysis. For example, multi-year backtests, full order book reconstruction and data lake ingestion are bulk transfers that fall into this category which Cloud Delivery is well suited to address. Availability in Amazon S3. Cloud Delivery publishes 10 datasets as Apache Parquet objects, refreshed daily. Users read these objects from their own AWS account using existing tooling, including the AWS CLI, the AWS SDKs, DuckDB, Spark, Athena and Glue. Objects are organized using Hive-style key=value prefixes by market type, exchange and date: s3://talos-data-daily/ data-type=market-trades/ market-type=spot/ exchange=coinbase/ dt=2026-07-28/ *.parquet Query engines discover these partitions automatically and eliminate prefixes that cannot satisfy a given filter, so a read scoped to a single exchange and date resolves against a small number of objects rather than the full dataset. Retrieving a day of trades requires no client library and no pagination: aws s3 cp \ s3://talos-data-daily/data-type=market-trades/market-type=spot/exchange=coinbase/dt=2026-07-28/ \ ./trades/ -recursive -request-payer requester Other query engine tools can equally read the prefix in place, without a download step. Availability in Snowflake. The same 10 datasets are exposed as tables within the user's own Snowflake account through Secure Data Sharing. Users mount a read-only database, grant access to their reader roles, and query it using standard SQL. Partition columns are exposed as ordinary columns, so filtering is conventional: SELECT dt, market, price_close, volume FROM coin_metrics.EXTERNAL.market_candles WHERE market_type = 'spot' AND exchange = 'binance' AND frequency = '1d' AND dt BETWEEN '2026-01-01' AND '2026-06-30'; The database name is chosen by the user when the share is mounted. No pipeline development is required and no data is copied. Dataset coverage. Ten datasets are published: market trades, candles, quotes, order book snapshots, order book updates, reference rates, and current catalogs for markets, assets, exchanges, and pairs. Coverage is as follows. * Trades and candles. 48 exchanges, across spot, futures, and options. Candles at eight frequencies, from one minute to one day. * Quotes and order book snapshots. 29 exchanges, across spot and futures, at raw granularity and full book depth. * Order book updates. 5 exchanges, across spot and futures. Additional exchanges can be added on request. * Reference rates. All covered assets, at one-second and one-hour frequencies, against USD, EUR, ETH and BTC. * Reference data. All covered entities. Each dataset is produced once daily and covers the preceding UTC day. Column names and definitions correspond to the fields returned by the API. For the market-level universe behind each dataset, see the Coverage Tool. Access and onboarding. Cloud Delivery is available as a limited release, with general availability to follow. It is provisioned per user. Existing clients can contact their Talos sales representative or account manager. Teams not yet working with Talos can reach Talos at [email protected]. Full documentation is available for Cloud Delivery, including per-destination guides for Amazon S3 and Snowflake, covering schemas, partition layouts, update schedules and query examples.

QCP strengthens its institutional trading infrastructure with Talos.

QCP strengthens its institutional trading infrastructure with Talos. August 7, 2026 Introduction. QCP Group needed trading infrastructure that could match the institutional standard it holds itself to - supporting client execution quality, liquidity access, risk controls, pricing and market data. QCP partnered with Talos to consolidate key components of its trading architecture onto a single institutional-grade platform, extending QCP's capabilities in a way that complements its proprietary expertise and client-first approach. The result is a more tightly integrated trading environment that has enhanced the scalability and resilience of QCP's execution and risk workflows. The company. Established in 2017, QCP Group is a leading digital asset partner in Asia, operating specialized entities to address the dynamic needs of the digital economy. They provide tailored solutions across derivatives, stablecoins, OTC spot trading and structured products to institutional, professional and accredited investors. Each QCP entity brings industry-leading knowledge and operational excellence, supported by a team of experts in trading, business development, risk, and compliance. Headquartered in Singapore, QCP Group has a growing global footprint with offices in Abu Dhabi, New York, Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City. The challenge. As QCP Group's institutional digital asset franchise continued to scale, the firm evaluated how best to architect its trading infrastructure to match the standard it holds itself to. The firm required trading infrastructure that could support trading operations that already demanded the highest level of client execution quality, liquidity access, internal risk management controls, pricing, and market data. The solution. QCP partnered with Talos to enhance and consolidate key components of its trading architecture onto a single institutional-grade platform. The result is a more tightly integrated trading environment that extends QCP's capabilities without compromising the proprietary expertise and client-first approach at the firm's core. Through Talos Dealer and WhiteLabel, QCP delivers institutional counterparties a branded trading interface and API connectivity with real-time pricing and electronic execution. This is while retaining full control over pricing rules, client segmentation, and routing configuration. Talos connects QCP's coverage desk, risk desk, and external liquidity counterparties within a unified workflow, enabling dynamic risk management with account-level segregation, clear P&L attribution, and auditability. Rules-based routing - configurable by instrument, order size, and market conditions - delivers consistent execution across all market environments. QCP's proprietary pricing engine is fully integrated into the Talos aggregation layer alongside external liquidity sources, preserving QCP's market-making capabilities while expanding the pricing universe available to its traders. Talos market data, including volatility surfaces and FX reference data, supports QCP's derivatives pricing, analytics, and risk workflows within a single, consolidated environment. The results. By adopting Talos as part of its institutional trading infrastructure, QCP has enhanced the scalability and resilience of its execution and risk workflows without relying solely on internally built systems for every component of the trading stack. The implementation has helped QCP: * Provide institutional clients with a more seamless electronic trading experience through API and branded interface access * Consolidate access to selected liquidity sources within a single execution workflow * Improve coordination between client-facing and risk-management functions * Support clearer account segregation, auditability, and P&L attribution * Reduce operational fragmentation across execution, pricing, and market data workflows * Preserve flexibility for QCP's proprietary pricing, market-making, and risk-management processes. Rather than replacing QCP's internal expertise, the Talos platform operates as an infrastructure layer that supports the firm's ability to scale its institutional franchise while maintaining control over trading decisions, client coverage, and risk management. "Digital assets are no longer a standalone market - they are becoming part of the broader capital markets infrastructure. Institutional participants need robust systems to trade, manage risk, and operate with greater transparency across that transition. Talos has been a valuable partner in building that infrastructure with us, in a way that fits how we uniquely operate." - Darius Sit, Founder, QCP Group "We're proud that our partnership with QCP provides them with the scalability and resilience of an institutional-grade platform that complements their proprietary expertise and client-first approach. We look forward to continuing this partnership as QCP advances its institutional franchise across the globe." - Samar Sen, Head of International Markets, Talos The future. As QCP continues to deepen its institutional franchise, the firm expects infrastructure, workflow automation and post-trade processes to remain important areas of focus. Looking ahead, QCP will continue to evaluate opportunities to further enhance operational efficiency across areas such as settlement workflows, collateral management and financing-related processes. Talos will remain an important part of QCP's trading infrastructure, supporting the firm's ongoing focus on scalable, resilient and institutionally robust digital asset markets.
