Flowdesk Secures $102M to Expand Liquidity Services, Crypto Credit Desk, and Global Footprint
Digital asset trading firm Flowdesk has raised $102 million in a fresh funding round, aiming to scale its liquidity services, expand its regulatory and tech teams, and enter new international markets. The raise was led by HV Capital, with additional backing from a debt facility managed by BlackRock.
“This funding marks a major step forward as we scale to meet rising institutional demand for efficient market-making infrastructure,” said Flowdesk CEO Guilhem Chaumont in a statement to CoinDesk.
Strengthening Institutional Offerings and Market Presence
Flowdesk plans to grow its over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives division and launch a dedicated crypto credit desk, responding to increasing demand from hedge funds and digital asset issuers. The company is also set to double its workforce, reinforcing its trading operations and compliance capabilities.
One of Flowdesk’s key expansion targets is the Middle East, with the UAE emerging as a strategic base. The firm has a reputation for making bold market moves, previously expanding into the U.S. despite a hostile regulatory climate, a decision that ultimately positioned it ahead of competitors.
Pioneering Tokenization and Digital Asset Liquidity
Flowdesk remains focused on tokenized assets, a sector gaining traction among institutional players. The company has already partnered with token issuers to provide liquidity solutions for tokenized securities, stablecoins, and other blockchain-based financial products.
“From the start, our vision has been that tokenization will transform traditional finance,” Chaumont said. “This capital allows us to scale our offerings and solidify our position at the forefront of this evolution.”
Existing investors Eurazeo, Cathay Innovation, and ISAI also participated in the round, signaling continued confidence in Flowdesk’s vision and growth trajectory.
