Integrating Zodia Markets’ institutional-grade trading infrastructure with Hidden Road’s global credit network will enhance institutional access to digital asset markets while improving liquidity, efficiency, and price discovery.
Strengthening Institutional Market Access

This collaboration aligns with our mission to bring the best practices of traditional finance to digital assets.”
Enhancing Liquidity and Trading Capabilities
Hidden Road’s global credit network offers multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing, and financing solutions across traditional and digital asset products, solving complexity and conflicts of interest for institutional traders. The integration with Zodia Markets will give Hidden Road’s clients better access to a broader range of digital asset trading pairs, including Euro-denominated assets, enhancing price efficiency and market access.
“We are excited to welcome Zodia Markets as a liquidity provider on our platform,” said Michael Higgins, International CEO and Global Head of Corporate Development for Hidden Road. “Their ability to stream stablecoin pricing against Euro introduces a valuable new dimension to our offering, giving our clients more flexibility and choice in digital asset trading. This partnership will further our common goal to build an institutional-grade digital asset ecosystem.”
Expanding the Institutional Digital Asset Ecosystem
