With its leading quantitative strategy design, testing, automation, and trade execution platform across all asset classes, AlgoTrader enables banks, brokers, OTC desks and market makers to connect to, and interact seamlessly with the world’s most liquid and regulated digital asset and cryptocurrency trading and execution venues.

With the investment, the company plans to scale further.

The Fund is a partnership between Block.one, the publisher of the blockchain software protocol EOSIO, and FinLab AG, one of the first and largest investors in financial services technologies and blockchain in Europe.

Block.one’s EOS VC program offers developers and entrepreneurs the funding they need to create community-driven businesses leveraging EOSIO. AlgoTrader AG is also taking the next technological step through the utilization of Block.one’s EOSIO protocol. “With expensive traditional audit procedures becoming void through the data persistence and security that comes along with the utilization of blockchain technology, we are enabling further efficiency by integrating EOSIO, the most highly performant, scalable and reliable blockchain solution on the market,” said Bartosz Wojcik, CTO of AlgoTrader.
