Finery Markets, an institutional crypto trading technology provider, has announced a strategic partnership with GSR, a crypto-focused capital markets firm, to bring deep liquidity to the 150 market participants connected to Finery Markets' network.
The integration is already live, with the first trade completed.
GSR will provide liquidity to payment providers, OTC desks, brokers, and others operating within the Finery Markets network. Liquidity will be available exclusively via firm quotes, creating a zero-slippage execution environment intended to give clients greater certainty when executing large transactions.
The partnership comes as OTC trading continues to gain ground on centralised and decentralised exchange markets. According to Finery Markets' Q1 report, OTC volume grew 43% year-on-year, outpacing both CEX volumes, which declined 45%, and DEX volumes, which grew 39%.

Konstantin Shulga, CEO and Co-Founder, Finery Markets said:
"We are incredibly pleased to welcome GSR, one of the largest crypto market makers, to the Finery Markets ecosystem. As the first crypto liquidity provider to achieve regulatory authorization from both the FCA and MAS, GSR's addition comes at a pivotal time, coinciding with growing demand for deep institutional liquidity on our platform. We are confident that our stablecoin-optimized infrastructure, now bolstered by GSR's presence, will significantly enhance institutional access."

Aravind Srinivasan, Head of Systematic OTC Business, GSR said:
"The global crypto market is entering a pivotal phase shaped by regulatory reform and shifting market expectations. MiCA in Europe and potential changes in the U.S. are reshaping how capital is formed and liquidity flows. At GSR, we're focused on building the infrastructure that institutions need to thrive in this new era—deep liquidity, transparent markets, and trusted partnerships."
