Tokenized Assets Get Perpetual Liquidity

Flow Traders has introduced a significant digital asset OTC offering, delivering 24/7 proprietary, two-way liquidity for tokenized assets. This groundbreaking service encompasses tokenized money-market funds, equities, and commodities, such as Franklin Templeton's BENJI and Tether Gold. The launch is a direct response to escalating institutional needs for reliable trading access during extended hours, including overnights and weekends.

This development underscores the increasing institutional adoption of tokenized assets. Market participants are actively seeking mechanisms to trade and hedge exposures when risks emerge outside conventional trading sessions. The expansion of secondary market activity in tokenized equities and commodities, extending into overnight and weekend periods, highlights a critical requirement for continuous liquidity and execution frameworks to manage equity risk around the clock.

Flow Traders' CEO, Thomas Spitz, noted that tokenization represents a potential next major evolution in market structures, similar to past transformations driven by ETFs and electronic trading. He observed that tokenized equities and synthetic equity derivatives are already exhibiting meaningful trading volumes, with activity in some large-cap U.S. stocks reaching 2-3% of their primary listing's notional trading volume outside traditional U.S. market hours.

The firm's platform provides counterparties with 24/7 pricing, supported by robust risk controls for overnight and weekend conditions. Traders can hedge tokenized equity and commodity exposures against fiat or stablecoins using established OTC workflows and defined settlement processes. Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, highlighted the role of liquidity providers like Flow Traders in ensuring efficient trading of assets like XAU₮, particularly as tokenized commodities gain traction.
