Whether the goal of large companies is entering the digital assets market or making sustainable reporting easy, Swiss startups have a wide pallet of solutions. Four startups have enabled their new corporate customers to launch new solutions.
Wyden (formerly AlgoTrader), a leading provider of institutional trading technology for digital assets, has won its first banking client in Germany, Baader Bank AG, to serve German neobroker finanzen.net zero. Through the joint setup, retail customers of finanzen.net zero now have the opportunity to trade with 24 of the largest and best-known cryptocurrencies around the clock, including Bitcoin, Ether, Uniswap, Polygon and Polkadot. Wyden provides its cloud-based digital asset order and execution management platform for this purpose, while Baader Bank acts as a financial commission agent. Together, secure trading is thus made possible for finanzen.net zero customers via a German credit institution. The open architecture and multi-client capability of the Wyden platform, together with Baader Bank’s banking expertise, allow additional partners from the brokerage and neobrokerage sectors as well as the institutional sector to be connected.
