Overview
In 2017, the BridgePort team was tasked with integrating crypto into the world's largest wholesale FX venue, where global banks and high-frequency trading firms transact. The venue operated in both a central limit order book (CLOB) and an OTC bilateral model--both common modalities in traditional finance, where liquidity access is provided through prime brokers and bilateral credit. While executing trades would be straightforward, we quickly realized a much larger challenge: there was no central counterparty (CCP) or middleware in place to provide the pre-order and post-trade infrastructure necessary to build a truly scalable market for digital assets.
