Why it all matters
Covering the entire trade lifecycle from pre- to post-trade in one platform ensures central orchestration and full automation of all – otherwise manual – workflows across treasury, trade execution, settlement and accounting. As a result, this single-platform approach provides resilience, transparency and speed while greatly reducing errors.
Covering the entire lifecycle also contains seamless integration of core banking, portfolio management systems, custody and liquidity. This is particularly valuable for institutions as digital asset and TradFi infrastructure remains fragmented with trading, custody, settlement, reporting and so on often siloed across systems. The piecemeal approach tends to slow time-to-market as it increases operational risk.
Wyden’s platform powers the trade lifecycle in every aspect:
- Trade: Execute across agency, principal, and internal books with intelligent order routing and smart execution algorithms.
- Orchestrate: Automate workflows between trading, custody, and core banking to reduce operational risk.
- Centralize: Unify treasury, liquidity, and settlement in one integrated platform.
- Reconcile: Align trading activity and balances across accounting, custody, and banking systems.
- Scale: Support growing volumes and client demand with high-throughput, resilient infrastructure.
- Deploy – Choose SaaS or on-premise without compromising performance, security, or flexibility.
All of this is achieved while meeting complex regulatory, operational, and infrastructure requirements so that banks and brokers can seamlessly integrate crypto and digital assets into their existing tech stack.
