Flowdesk Raises $102M to Scale Its Trading and Market-Making Services

Flowdesk Raises $102M to Expand Trading, Liquidity, and Tokenization Services

Flowdesk, a leading digital asset trading and liquidity provider, has secured $102 million in fresh funding to scale operations, enhance compliance and technology teams, and expand into new global markets. The round was backed by HV Capital, alongside a debt facility managed by BlackRock.

“This investment represents a major milestone as we scale our infrastructure to support the increasing institutional demand for digital asset market-making,” said CEO Guilhem Chaumont in a statement to CoinDesk. “We are committed to building best-in-class liquidity solutions and expanding our reach into key financial hubs.”

Expanding Services and Entering New Markets

Flowdesk plans to deploy the funds to grow its over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives trading business, launch a crypto credit desk, and double its workforce. The firm is also preparing to enter the Middle East, with the UAE emerging as a prime location for its next office.

Flowdesk has a track record of bold market entries, such as expanding into the U.S. during heightened regulatory uncertainty under the Biden administration—an aggressive move that ultimately paid off.

Tokenization at the Forefront

Beyond trading and liquidity services, Flowdesk is ramping up efforts in tokenization, an area experiencing growing institutional interest. The firm has been actively working with token issuers to support liquidity for tokenized assets and plans to extend its services to stablecoins, tokenized securities, and money market funds.

“Since our inception, we’ve believed tokenization will transform global financial markets,” Chaumont added. “Our work with issuers has positioned Flowdesk as a key player in this shift.”

The funding round also saw participation from Eurazeo, Cathay Innovation, and ISAI, underscoring strong investor confidence in Flowdesk’s vision and future growth.
