BlockFi Prime is the latest addition to a host of Prime Services offered to BlockFi’s institutional clients, which also includes digital asset borrowing and 24/7 client service via its OTC trading capabilities. The tool combines BlockFi’s tech capabilities with a trade flow across settlement, reporting and allocations that traditional fund managers are accustomed to. BlockFi Prime’s features include:
- Real-time streaming quotes
- The ability to trade up to a settlement limit via a 24-hour settlement cycle
- Availability of trade and loan history with access to downloadable term sheets and outstanding balances
- Easy-to-use trading user interface, which features a built-in exchange calculator
- Flexible API that lets users fold BlockFi Prime capabilities into their own system for high-frequency or programmatic trades
- A flexible pricing model that allows an organization to select features which best fit its organization’s needs, including TWAPs and spot
In addition, BlockFi expects in the coming months to add tools to BlockFi Prime focused on margin trading, derivatives and automated margin lending.
