Flow Traders Launches 24/7 Tokenised Trading Offering

Flow Traders is adding to its OTC offering with a 24/7 two-way liquidity service for tokenized money-market funds, equities and commodities, which includes Franklin Templeton’s BENJI and Tether Gold, among others.

The firm says the launch reflects growing demand for reliable access to tokenised assets across extended trading hours, overnights, and weekends. It is delivered through Flow Traders’ Digital Asset OTC platform, in collaboration with digital asset issuers and infrastructure providers. Institutions can access liquidity via direct FIX connectivity, OMS/EMS platforms, ECNs or high-touch OTC execution.

The firm says the launch comes as tokenised assets increasingly serve as “a clear institutional use case”. It adds that institutions are seeking the ability to trade and hedge exposure when risk moves outside traditional market hours, noting that in tokenised equities and commodities, secondary‑market activity has expanded across different instruments and trading sessions, with participation extending into overnight and weekend periods.

The firm will provide counterparties with 24/7 two-way pricing, supported by risk controls it says are designed for overnight and weekend market conditions. Counterparties can trade and hedge tokenised equity and commodity exposures against fiat or stablecoins, using familiar OTC workflows and defined settlement processes.

“Over the past two decades, evolving market structures, from ETFs to electronic trading, have transformed how investors access exposure,” observes Flow Traders CEO Thomas Spitz. “Tokenisation has the potential to be one of the next major steps in that evolution. We are already seeing early signs of this shift, with tokenised equities and synthetic equity derivatives trading with meaningful volumes. In some large‑cap US stocks, activity across tokenised and synthetic markets has at times reached around 2–3% of the notional trading volume of their primary US listings. Much of this activity takes place outside traditional U.S. market hours, creating new infrastructure to manage equity risk overnight and across global trading sessions.”

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, adds, “Demand for gold, both in traditional markets and on chain, has accelerated as investors look for resilient stores of value in a more uncertain macro environment. Liquidity providers such as Flow Traders play a critical role in ensuring that tokenised assets like XAU₮ can trade efficiently across venues and reach a broader set of market participants. Supporting XAU₮ across multiple exchanges and through their OTC desk helps strengthen the market structure around digital representations of physical gold. As tokenised commodities continue to gain traction, improving liquidity and accessibility will be essential for bringing these assets to a wider global audience.”
