London, United Kingdom, June 25th, 2025
GSR, crypto’s capital markets partner, today announced a major upgrade to its systematic over-the-counter (OTC) trading platform, expanding foreign exchange (FX) capabilities, improving execution quality, and broadening access to hundreds of digital assets.
The upgraded platform introduces both a new user interface (UI) and an enhanced API, giving clients flexible access to GSR’s liquidity across more than 200 digital assets and 25 fiat currencies. This development reflects GSR’s mission to help founders and institutions scale with confidence by providing institutional-grade liquidity solutions that meet the demands of a rapidly evolving market.
This upgrade further strengthens GSR’s position as the bridge between traditional finance and cryptocurrency markets.
“This is a meaningful step forward in GSR’s commitment to making digital asset trading infrastructure truly institutional,” said Jakob Palmstierna, President, GSR. “With systematic OTC accessible through both our API and UI, we’re enabling clients to engage with markets faster, more transparently, and with greater precision.”
Key highlights of the upgrade include:
Tighter, More Competitive Pricing:
The upgraded platform delivers improved pricing across major crypto pairs, leveraging proprietary algorithms and liquidity from GSR’s global network of counterparties.
Institutional FX Integration:
Clients now benefit from seamless crypto-to-fiat and fiat-to-fiat execution across more than 25 fiat currencies, with pricing aligned with traditional FX prime brokerage standards. Support includes large trade sizes, up to $100 million per trade or the equivalent in other currencies, with direct access to tier-one FX liquidity.
Unmatched Breadth of Assets:
Clients in approved jurisdictions can access hundreds of digital assets, including altcoins, stablecoins, and emerging tokens, across all trading combinations through both GSR’s precision-built UI and robust API. This seamless access to over 200 assets makes it one of the most comprehensive OTC offerings in the industry.
