Flow Traders Rolls Out 24/7 OTC Platform for Tokenized Assets - Crypto Economy

TL;DR:

• Flow Traders launched an OTC service for tokenized assets with 24/7 liquidity, targeting institutional counterparties worldwide.
• The platform covers tokenized money market funds, equities and commodities, including Franklin Templeton’s BENJI fund and Tether Gold.
• Thomas Spitz, CEO of the company, noted that tokenization could be one of the next steps in the evolution of capital markets.

Flow Traders officially launched a digital asset OTC service with two-way liquidity around the clock, seven days a week. Its offering covers tokenized funds across money markets, equities and commodities, and specifically targets institutional demand that extends beyond the conventional hours of traditional markets.

Among the assets already available are the BENJI fund from Franklin Templeton, a tokenized money market vehicle, and Tether Gold (XAU₮), the on-chain representation of physical gold. The selection made by Flow Traders responds directly to institutional interest in instruments that combine exposure to real-world assets with the operability of blockchain infrastructure.


Activity in secondary markets for tokenized equities and commodities already extends regularly outside standard trading hours. In some large-cap U.S. names, the notional volume of these markets has reached between 2% and 3% of the volume recorded on primary exchanges, according to Thomas Spitz, CEO of Flow Traders, upon presenting the service.

Flow Traders Designed an Infrastructure Built for Continuous Risk

The company’s digital asset OTC desk offers enabled counterparties two-way quotes on a continuous basis, using risk controls designed for non-standard market conditions. Clients can hedge tokenized exposures against fiat currencies or stablecoins through standard OTC workflows and transparent settlement processes. Access is available via direct FIX connectivity, order management and execution systems, electronic communication networks and traditional assisted execution channels.


Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, endorsed the launch and stressed the importance of continuous liquidity for assets such as XAU₮. “Liquidity providers like Flow Traders play a fundamental role in ensuring that tokenized assets can be traded efficiently across different platforms and reach a greater number of clients,” he said. Product coverage will expand based on client feedback, regulatory approvals and the platforms enabled in each jurisdiction.
