Fireblocks is a blockchain security service provider for moving, storing, and issuing digital assets. It brings financial trading partners, wallets, and custodians into one platform. Fireblocks is seeking to build the infrastructure to become, in their own words, the SWIFT of Crypto. Their platform allows customers to outsource security and regulatory steps required to quickly and confidently complete large transaction orders. Sufficient liquidity on Fireblocks makes transactions cheaper and enables financial institutions to conduct market arbitrage.
Fireblocks enables customer liquidity because trades settle faster on the platform, and customers access more counterparties for large transactions. Due to the network effects of its platform, Fireblocks has become a fairly critical part of institutional cryptocurrency trading.
