    About Wintermute

    Wintermute is one of the largest crypto-native algorithmic trading companies in digital assets. We provide liquidity across most major cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms, offer a broad range of OTC trading solutions, and support high-profile blockchain projects and traditional financial institutions moving into digital assets.

    We are also expanding into prediction markets, applying our trading and liquidity expertise to this rapidly growing space and building infrastructure across new event-driven markets. Wintermute Ventures invests in early-stage DeFi and Web3 projects. Wintermute was founded in 2017 and has successfully navigated multiple industry cycles.

    Culturally, we combine the technology standards and quantitative rigour of traditional high-frequency trading firms with the innovative and entrepreneurial culture of technology startups.

    To Wintermute, digital assets - and emerging markets such as prediction markets - are not simply another asset class. We believe in the long-term potential of blockchain and new forms of market infrastructure, and we aim to take a leading role in building innovative, liquid and compliant markets.
