Crypto market maker Flow Traders enters tokenized assets via 24/7 OTC desk
Crypto market maker Flow Traders has expanded into tokenized assets via its 24/7 over-the-counter trading platform, supporting products including tokenized money market funds, equities, and commodities.
The offering provides "two-way liquidity" for assets such as Franklin Templeton’s onchain money market fund (BENJI) and Tether Gold (XAUT), allowing institutional counterparties to trade and hedge exposure outside traditional market hours using fiat or stablecoins.
The move reflects growing institutional demand for round-the-clock access to tokenized assets, particularly as market risk increasingly moves beyond standard trading hours.
"Over the past two decades, evolving market structures, from ETFs to electronic trading, have transformed how investors access exposure. Tokenization has the potential to be one of the next major steps in that evolution," said Flow Traders CEO Thomas Spitz. He added that the firm will support tokenized assets for "permissioned" counterparties, meaning access is limited to eligible participants that have completed onboarding and know your customer, or KYC, checks.
Flow Traders' expansion adds to a growing push by crypto market makers into tokenized assets. Last month, Wintermute entered the space, supporting tokenized commodities including Tether Gold and Pax Gold (PAXG). Last August, GSR partnered with tokenized asset exchange DigiFT to launch secondary OTC trading in tokenized real-world assets, or RWAs.
The RWA market has grown to over $27 billion. Some estimates suggest it could reach trillions of dollars in the coming years. Michael Lie, global head of digital assets at Flow Traders, told The Block he would not put a specific number on the estimated market, but noted that growth is expected to be "gradual and uneven" across asset classes, driven by institutional adoption, improving market infrastructure, and use cases.
Founded in 2004, Flow Traders is a public company listed on Euronext Amsterdam with a market capitalization of over $1 billion. It is a market maker across asset classes, including equities, fixed income, commodities, crypto, and foreign exchange. Flow Traders said RWA coverage will continue to evolve in line with counterparty demand, regulatory considerations, and supported venues. Product availability may vary by jurisdiction and counterparty eligibility and may be offered by different entities within the Flow Traders group, depending on regulatory status.

The Shopify Stock Rally Isn't Done: Chart of the Week -- Barrons.com
By Doug Busch Shopify is no longer a pandemic-era growth story that simply failed to slow down. It is compounding at a pace few software platforms its size still manage. In the second quarter of 2026, sales on its platform rose 32%. That was the fifth straight quarter of growth exceeding 30%. Merchants are also using more of Shopify's own tools, from payments to Shop Pay, and new channels like AI shopping agents are starting to increase demand. The simple bull case is that the stock already commands a huge share of independent online commerce, and that position should become more valuable as more buying moves through its checkout. A rule of market mechanics is that the vast majority of an individual security's gain is driven by its underlying sector. Within technology, software has staged a robust recovery, joining semiconductors to power the broader sector higher. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF has maintained an upward trajectory since its mid-April lows, though the advance from $74 to $112 has been choppy as bulls repeatedly stepped in to defend when necessary. Breadth across large-cap software has expanded significantly, with 24 constituents surging over 20% over the past three months. During that same three-month window, Shopify generated outstanding relative strength, advancing 36%, more than doubling the IGV's 17% gain over the same period. Expect the stock's outperformance to persist as software momentum broadens. Let's examine the daily and monthly charts to outline the technical drivers behind this thesis. Looking at the daily chart, the ratio chart against the IGV shows persistent outperformance extending back to mid-May. The stock is riding an eight-session winning streak, during which price action cleared a double-bottom-with-handle pivot at $151.39. Within this broader base, the stock recorded a bullish golden cross in late August and successfully filled its Sept. 10 price gap, tracing back to its Aug. 4 session, the day before a powerful earnings reaction sent the stock surging 17% hi
