Institutional-grade crypto trading platform CoinRoutes, which provides execution access to more than 50 exchanges and liquidity venues covering over 3,000 assets, has acquired QIS Risk, the award-winning institutional portfolio and risk monitoring platform. The deal establishes what CoinRoutes says is the digital asset industry’s first complete end-to-end solution for institutional clients, integrating execution, monitoring, and risk management into one platform.
CoinRoutes, founded by Ian Weisberger and Michael Holstein, is best known for its patented distributed execution architecture, which allows clients to retain full control of wallets and keys while benefiting from advanced order routing, algorithmic execution, and transaction cost analysis. The company has executed more than half a trillion dollars in digital asset trades since launch and has become a key partner for hedge funds, principal brokerages, and proprietary trading firms seeking market-leading execution efficiency.
QIS Risk, founded by Fred Cox, provides institutional-grade portfolio analytics and risk management solutions for digital asset managers. Its platform connects to over 70 trading sources — both on-chain and off-chain — to track performance, exposure, and counterparty risk across crypto and traditional investments in real time. The company was named Risk Management Solution of the Year in both 2024 and 2025 by HedgeWeek’s Global Digital Assets Awards.

Now we’re delivering the complete institutional experience – from market-leading algorithmic execution to comprehensive risk management and portfolio monitoring. We’re not just competing anymore; we’re redefining the landscape.”
