Talos Teams up with Uniswap Labs and Fireblocks in Landmark Partnership to Bring DeFi Liquidity to Institutional Investors
Opens Up Important New Source of Liquidity for Talos Clients
NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2023 /CNW/ -- Talos, the premier provider of technology for institutions to trade digital assets, and Uniswap Labs, the most trusted name in decentralized finance (DeFi), announced a first-of-its-kind partnership to bring decentralized liquidity and onchain settlement to professional traders and institutions.
Uniswap Labs' Trading APIs will provide Talos's clients with enterprise-grade access to the deepest liquidity venue in DeFi with thousands of assets in the Talos order book format they are familiar with. In the near future, clients will also be able to use the new UniswapX ecosystem, which sources liquidity from additional sources to bring even better prices, MEV protection, and gasless swaps to users. Institutional client access to Uniswap is supported by Fireblocks, an enterprise platform to manage digital asset operations and build innovative businesses on the blockchain.
"We are thrilled to be working with Uniswap Labs and Fireblocks to expand liquidity access for our institutional clients," said Anton Katz, CEO and Co-Founder of Talos. "At the cornerstone of the DeFi ecosystem, Uniswap has the breadth of assets and depth of liquidity that institutional traders need. And to have this partnership powered by Fireblocks, a digital assets infrastructure provider trusted by some of the most renowned institutions, is very fitting. Together, we share a vision of making digital assets more accessible in a financial marketplace that's more open."
At launch, clients will have the distinctive ability to execute orders on Uniswap using Talos's advanced time-based execution algorithmic strategies, including the TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) algorithm. This integration paves the way for Talos's strategies to be able to interact across both centralized and decentralized liquidity venues seamlessly, expanding opportunities for clients to achieve best execution.
"We welcome Talos clients to the Uniswap ecosystem: deep liquidity, expansive assets, and safe on-chain settlement 24/7," said Mary-Catherine Lader, COO of Uniswap Labs. "Uniswap Labs' smart contract expertise has transformed blockchain-based markets. This integration brings institutions the deep liquidity they need and sophisticated smart-contract market structure that they've never had access to before. It's a big step forward for adoption of onchain markets."
"In the last 12 months, Fireblocks customers have deployed $6 billion into Uniswap. Being that we've long supported Talos's integrations and have previously supported Uniswap Labs via retail connectors, we are thrilled that Uniswap Labs is now a part of this ecosystem to simplify workflows for Fireblocks customers," added Michael Shaulov, CEO and Co-Founder of Fireblocks. "We're committed to remaining at the forefront of providing enterprise-grade technology and are proud to work with Talos and Uniswap to deliver an important point of entry to a significant source of liquidity."
