MMaaS offers a new approach to managing liquidity on secondary markets where crypto projects can bootstrap their own liquidity using Flowdesk’s trading infrastructure and global coverage team.Flowdesk was founded in 2020 and is based in Paris with offices in Singapore, NYC, Toronto and now London. In four years, Flowdesk managed to grow rapidly due to the scalability of its infrastructure and business model which is subscription based and market/counterparty risk agnostic.Following a strong execution year in 2021, Flowdesk announced a $30m Series A in June 2021, followed by a $50m Series B in January 2024. The team is composed of 130 individuals, primarily with engineering/scientific and traditional finance backgrounds.Flowdesk’s ambition is to become the market leader in infrastructure provision for trading and financial services in crypto.
