If Wall Street is to be enticed into crypto, firms need tools that better connect them to trading opportunities that are similar to the tools they use on capital markets.

The digital asset space has been abuzz with interest from traditional financial institutions (TradFi) for months as the big players of Wall Street reevaluate it as a solid and lucrative asset class. To make the most of the rewards from this sector, however, TradFi firms need the right applications to get involved, according to Talos CEO Anton Katz. 

In an interview with Decrypt, Katz said that financial firms like banks and hedge funds are looking for tools that let them lock in the best price with the lowest risk attached. To help clients do this, Katz said he sees Talos’ role as creating the “piping” that better connects these firms with liquidity with tools familiar to them in capital markets.

“It’s not a very sexy thing to say with investors, but that’s how we think about it,” Katz told Decrypt. “We build the piping, and then we build the layer on top of it.”

Building connections between digital and traditional financial markets is a natural fit for Katz, an MIT-trained engineer who held executive positions at AQR Capital Management and Broadway Technology. In 2018, Katz and his Broadway colleague Ethan Feldman founded Talos as a trading platform that would connect institutional investors with digital asset trading opportunities.
