Institutional crypto infrastructure company Quadra has integrated Nomura Group's digital assets arm, Laser Digital, into its global liquidity network, giving brokers, exchanges and asset managers operating on the Quadra platform access to Laser Digital's trading capabilities within a regulated framework.
The integration, announced on 14 May 2026, is designed to address fragmentation across the digital asset trading ecosystem by enabling professional firms to access Laser Digital's liquidity through a single point of connectivity rather than managing separate bilateral relationships.
Quadra operates three core products: multi-venue execution platform Quadra Trade, white-label trading operating system Quadra Prime for brokers and exchanges, and OTC/RFQ execution venue CoinMatch. The firm is headquartered in London and operates under Nova Duvera UK Ltd. Laser Digital is a full-service digital asset firm covering trading, asset management, solutions and early-stage investing.
A frequently requested integration
Pedro Birmann, Chief Executive of Quadra, described Laser Digital as one of the most requested additions across the firm's client base, and said early adoption figures had been encouraging.

"Integrating Laser Digital into our network is a significant milestone for Quadra. Laser Digital was one of the most requested integrations across our client base, and having a trusted, regulated institution as part of our ecosystem helps us reduce fragmentation across trading venues. Adoption since launch has been very encouraging."

Cameron Dickie, Head of Distribution, Laser Digital
Cameron Dickie, Head of Distribution at Laser Digital, positioned the partnership in the context of maturing institutional demand for regulated connectivity.
"As institutional adoption of digital assets continues to mature, counterparties are increasingly focused on connectivity, risk management, and operating within established regulatory frameworks. This partnership brings together two businesses operating at the intersection of institutional-grade trading technology and risk management, and we look forward to working closely with Quadra to service their rapidly growing client base."

The integration reflects a broader pattern in institutional digital asset markets, where regulated firms are increasingly seeking curated networks of trusted counterparties over fragmented, point-to-point connectivity arrangements.
