Secure Digital Markets Partners with BlockQuake on Regulated Digital Asset Exchange Alternative for Institutions & Retail Traders

Secure Digital Markets will provide BlockQuake access to Global Digital Asset Liquidity at Launch

TORONTO--()--Secure Digital Markets (SDM), a leading digital asset focused brokerage and trading firm in North America, has announced its new partnership with BlockQuake, a regulatory-driven digital asset & cryptocurrency exchange headquartered in New York City, to collaborate on the distribution, trading and liquidity of digital assets through BlockQuake’s exchange and Secure Digital Markets’ liquidity platform. The partnership allows BlockQuake to offer its users 24/7 access to digital asset liquidity through this aggregated global on-ramp.

SDM will provide BlockQuake users with stronger access to global liquidity, more consistent and accurate market prices and a single point of entry for market participants. This will help eliminate the fragmented exchange landscape, where the ratio between liquidity and pricing data varies greatly across exchanges.

BlockQuake is a regulatory-driven global cryptocurrency and digital asset exchange that aims to be an industry-standard in global compliance and address the gaps in security, transparency, and choice between traditional investment platforms and cryptocurrency exchanges. The exchange onboards solutions that prioritize performance and security, providing both traditional and cryptocurrency traders with a superior trading experience.

Secure Digital Markets (SDM), the trading arm of GDA Capital, works with firms to create a completely custom digital asset on-ramp that meets the dynamic needs of blockchain businesses today. SDM works with HNWIs, funds, BTC miners & exchanges to buy, sell or trade their digital assets in a secure and efficient manner. In addition to its liquidity offerings, Secure Digital Markets provides treasury management solutions to participating investors who are actively trading.

“We’re excited to partner with SDM, one of the top global liquidity providers and market makers in the digital asset space,” said Antonio Brasse, CEO of BlockQuake. “Retail and institutional investors in cryptocurrency are on the rise and liquidity is essential to meeting their needs. By plugging in to SDM's aggregate global liquidity, BlockQuake can support a significant level of trading that is on par with top volume exchanges. This also sets the stage for expanding our exchange by making our platform accessible to new and larger market participants.“

“Liquidity is the lifeblood of any industry. We always welcome the opportunity to expand digital asset adoption by giving exchanges with comprehensive regulation and oversight, the liquidity they need to reach new customers and expand into new markets,” said Zachary Friedman, COO of Secure Digital Markets.

SDM’s market making solution aggregates liquidity from a list of some of the top global market makers and liquidity providers allowing BlockQuake to scale the trading pairs it offers while maintaining the depth of liquidity.

SDM is FINTRAC registered in Canada and BlockQuake is registered with FinCEN. Both firms are working with Fireblocks and PrimeTrust for wallet and fiat/banking solutions to create a more streamlined settlement process.
