Customer Success Story by Scalable Solutions
Company name: Bequant
About: Prime Brokerage for institutional investors and traders.
Year Founded: 2018
The Goal
The client’s aim was to set up a cryptocurrency broker for institutional and professional traders. The client was looking for a strategic partner that offers:
- Access to deep liquidity;
- PRO trading features;
- The ability to set up their own matching engine and offer colocation;
- FIX servers for the end-users;
- Quick time to market.
Why Scalable?
The client has chosen Scalable Solutions because our technology is tried-and-tested, it has never been compromised and it supports the demands of the most advanced traders (i.e. high-frequency traders) in terms of speed of execution, robust APIs, and little to no downtime.
The Solution
Scalable worked closely together with the client to establish a strategy for the future brokerage. Scalable provided and helped to deploy a full-tech solution, including crypto and fiat on and off-ramps, integration to most coins on the market, and access to KYC tools.
“Scalable was able to cover all of the requirements in a short amount of time – we were up and running in less than two months.”
The Outcome
Since 2018, Bequant has attracted 120+ institutional clients and provides them with spot, margin and perpetual futures trading along with B2B institutional services.
It now sustains over $818.65 million 24h trading volume.
The brokerage has won two industry awards: an award from TradingInsight Awards 2022 Europe for the “Best Solution for Trading Digital Assets” and an award from Hedgeweek US Digital Assets Awards in the “Best Prime Broker” category.
“Since our target audience are institutional traders, the number of clients we have trading is necessarily smaller than in the retail market, however, we were able to gain considerable traction on the back of the colocation and FIX offering,” says George Zarya, CEO of Bequant.
