This integration allows institutional clients to access Wincent's liquidity through CoinRoutes' order and execution management system. Launching with one institutional taker initially, the service provides a new distribution channel following Wincent's March integration with Wyden's liquidity network. Each client maintains a direct commercial and credit relationship with Wincent. ## Convenience for Existing Clients Institutions already using CoinRoutes can now access Wincent without building a separate connection. This feature offers significant operational ease for trading desks managing multiple liquidity providers through the same order management system. Clients can add Wincent as an additional provider while continuing to use CoinRoutes' smart order routing, execution algorithms, and portfolio management tools. ## Bilateral Agreement Model Pricing and credit terms between each taker and Wincent remain bilateral. CoinRoutes charges liquidity takers a separate platform fee, though the calculation method wasn't disclosed. The arrangement isn't exclusive; Wincent can provide liquidity through other OEMS platforms, while CoinRoutes can establish dedicated sessions with additional market makers. ## Wincent's Market Impact Wincent reports executing approximately 500,000 trades and $5 billion in notional volume daily, with $750 million in deployed capital. This collaboration follows recent efforts to connect market makers with institutional trading networks, similar to Virtu Financial joining BitGo Prime in July. ## Growing Institutional Demand Wincent's Chief Business Development Officer Boris Sebosik emphasized institutional participants' demand for deeper, more efficient liquidity access without added operational complexity. CoinRoutes CEO Ian Weisberger noted clients want 'both reach and relationships.' This integration directly addresses these needs. ## Platform Growth Strategy CoinRoutes' platform connects to over 60 liquidity venues covering more than 3,000 digital asset instruments. The company added Crossover Markets' CROSSx ECN in October 2024 and expanded its OKX integration in August 2023 to offer API-based execution services to institutional users. ## Industry Developments Wincent's March agreement with Wyden provided liquidity access to banks and brokers using that platform. Wyden clients can route orders across 200+ assets and 17 venues using its Smart Order Routing engine. Such strategic partnerships accelerate institutional infrastructure development in crypto markets. ## Future of Institutional Crypto This collaboration represents a significant step in institutional crypto market maturation. Market makers offering liquidity across multiple platforms provides institutional investors with easier access and greater efficiency. Middle-layer solutions like CoinRoutes aggregate diverse liquidity sources, enhancing market depth and supporting institutional adoption of crypto assets. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/coinroutes-adds-dedicated-wincent-fix-sessions-for-institutional-clients/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
